Are Thule Cargo Bag Side Support Bars Available for a Kia Soul

Question:

I have this Thule rack with the 480 foot on my Soul Kia I am looking for the Thule bars that go front to back to support a cargo bag or whatever they have as a support structure between the main bars.

When attaching a cargo bag to the roof of your vehicle the Thule roof rack will be sufficient, without bars that go front to back. You just need to attach the roof bags straps in such a way that the bag cannot slide from side to side. Thule does not offer a side rail for the roof rack on the Kia Soul.

One thing I like to point out is that when using a cargo bag like the Thule Outbound Bag, # TH868, you should clean the top of the vehicle and bottom of the bag before installing the bag, to prevent damage to the roof of the vehicle. I recommend using protective pad # RL100650.
