Parts Needed To Install A Thule Roof Rack On A 2015 Kia Sorento With Raised Rails For Hauling Kayaks

Question:

I want to purchase cross bars for my kia. I have the factory side raised rails that run front to back. I want to put my kayak on top. If I purchase these do I need to purchase anymore parts to install it? Also, I need a good recommendation for a J-hook for my kayak.

You need a foot kit if you just bought the bars # TH711400. You need the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 too! It's an easy install, I've included a video to show you how!

When it comes to hauling a Kayak, I'll always recommend our etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878 because it will fit a wide range of bars any bar less than 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall. Also, our carries adjusts to fit your kayak just the way you want it. It is easy to install band take off but you can fold them down to help with low clearance situations and wind drag going down the road. Don't worry about grabbing straps because they come with it, so you don't have to grab anything else!
