Best Way to Attach Cargo Bag to a 2022 Kia Carnival with Sliding Door
Question:
Any attachments to attach a cargo bag/carrier to the naked roof? This carnival has automatic sliding doors.

While we have not tested a cargo bag designed for a naked roof on a vehicle that has a sliding door like your 2022 Kia Carnival, we have a sure solution for carrying the bag. Also, from the looks of your vehicle, there is not enough flat roof space toward the front of your vehicle to flatly mount a cargo bag positioned toward the front.
The absolute assured and safest way to transport a cargo bag is by adding the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B to provide a mounting position for the bag centered on your roof. With this route, you do not need to worry about potentially damaging the sliding doors on your Carnival. The Monkey Bars have a total pull strength of 1,260 lbs, so you do not need to be worries about driving with the crossbars at highway speeds. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the true might of the SeaSucker Vacuum Cups.
For theft-deterrence of the cups, I recommend using the SeaSucker Cable Anchor # 298-BA0010 with the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891.
A great rooftop bag that can attach to the Monkey Bars is the RightLine Range 2 # RL100R20. It is UV-resistant and it constructed to block out moisture.
