What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My 2020 Kia Soul with a Bare Roof?
Question:
So nothing fits but Thule cross bars?!?? I seem to be missing lug nuts on my fixed mounting points.

Since it sounds like you may be missing some components on your fixed mounting points on your 2020 Kia Soul, the safest route is to use a Thule crossbar setup we have listed on our fitguide. This is due to the fact that these crossbar systems use clips that attach to your door jambs and do not require fixed mounting points. For that setup, I recommend the following parts:
- Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 53" Long # TH712400
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5212 # TH145212
- Thule One-Key Lock Cylinders # TH450400
Not only does this setup bypass the need to use fixed mounting points, the SquareBar Evo crossbars are compatible with most crossbar accessories such as cargo carriers, bike racks, and watersport carriers. With the One-Key locks, you get the peace of mind of anti-theft protection.
If you wish to have another solution apart from Thule, the only other option is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B (48" long) or the # SEA99FR (60" long). The Monkey Bars come with an impressive 150 pound weight capacity and include the easiest installation and removal process of any of our roof racks here at etrailer. I went ahead and attached a video that highlights the true strength of the vacuum cups on SeaSucker products. For theft protection, I recommend the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 with the window anchor # 298-BA0010.
