The Rightline Sport 3 XL Waterproof Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 that you referenced is actually among my most often-recommended rooftop cargo bags. This 18-cubic-foot water-proof bag features multi-layer fabric construction, zipper flaps to keep out water and a flexible mounting arrangement that will work on just about any vehicle roof, including those without any roof hardware. For your Kia Sorento with raised factory side rails this is a perfect choice. I have linked a review video to illustrate.

With this I suggest the Rightline Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad # RL100650 to both help hold the bag in place and to protect your new paint finish from scratches. We suggest always washing the roof before installing the cargo bag to help prevent any trapped dirt from acting as an abrasive.

Another rooftop cargo essential is a tire step, like the Tire Step # HE4040. This fully-assembled folding step simply slips over a rear tire to give you better access to your roof for loading and unloading cargo.
