It sounds like you are looking for a trunk-mounted bike rack option for your 2008 Kia Sedona.

For this vehicle, I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This trunk-mounted carrier is confirmed to fit your Kia Sedona and is specifically designed for minivans like yours that feature a hatchback rear door. The bike rack has high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options that will work well with the Sedona and durable anti-sway cradles with soft rubber straps that will secure the bikes to the rack. It can safely secure up to 3 bikes at 35 pounds each. I recommend adding the Cable Lock # e98891 and the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 to secure everything into place and help deter theft.

I have attached a video demonstration on a similar style vehicle to yours so you can see exactly how it installs and operates.

If you plan on transporting any children's, woman's or alternative frame bikes, you may also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have included a short video demonstration on this product so you can see how it works and why it might be needed.

Lastly, we also have roof bike rack options that will work with a roof rack system on your vehicle. If you are instead interested in a roof mounted option, please let me know and I will be happy to make a recommendation.
