Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Kia Soul

Question:

I have a Kia Soul 2017 and would like to use the Thule rack I have now if it will fit. I have 47inch aeroblade bars and traverse footpacks 480R. The roof is naked, but I see the soul with the sunroof uses the 480 footpacks and 53inch bars. I sized up my 47inch bars and traverse footpacks and it looks like they will fit, as long as I buy the right fit kit. I see a video you have for a 2013 kia soul uses the traverse foot pack and 53inch bars, and wonder if this setup with 47inch bars will fit my 2017? I know the podium fixed point setup is recommended, but I have the traverse setup in hand. Thanks!

For the 2017 Kia Soul Thule actually recommends the same foot pack you have of part # TH480R so you can reuse that with the new fit kit part # THKIT4051. The bars they recommend now are the WingBar Evos part # TH711400 but there's a good chance your current bars will work too although not tested.
