Compatibility Of The Fit Kit For Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet For Round Load Bars?

Question:

I have a 2022 Genesis GV70. I also have a Yakima dirty word? kayak set up for two boats from my previous car. Of course Yakima does not make feet/towers I could substitute for the GV70. My current setup has round load bars that hold the yak carriers. First, do you have a round load bar that would work with your Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet? Second, if not, could my round Yakima load bars be adapted to your rack feet? I know its a long shot, but would appreciate any help or advice you could provide. Thanks.

So I took a look at what is offered for your 2022 Genesis GV70, and it doesn't look like the Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601 that you mention is not going to be a fit your vehicle, nor is there a round bar that can adapt to them either.

I know it's not ideal, however the best solution for a set of crossbars I can offer is the:

-Thule WingBar Edge Crossbar # TH33RE, with the Edge Flush Rail Feet # TH89SC, and the Fit Kit # TH86RE.

If your Yakima kayak carrier can only be mounted to round bars, then you're also going to need a new kayak carrier like the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073.

This kayak carrier can carry up to 2 kayaks weighing up to 110-lbs, and will fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.
