2018 Kia Sorento Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Roof Cargo Box
Question:
My SIL has a 2018 Kia Sorento without roof rails. Would a Thule fit? He has guides with screw holes in them but no rails. Thank you!

To carry any rooftop cargo box, like the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906, on any vehicle you will need a roof rack. It sounds like the 2018 Kia Sorento has the flush mounted rails so I recommend using a Thule WingBar Evo roof rack:
47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH186033
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
This gives you a way to secure the cargo box to the roof of your Sorento by utilizing those bolt holes you found. I have attached an installation video of this roof rack on a 2019 Sorento for you to check out.
