2013 Kia Sportage Roof Rack Installation And Review Videos

Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Kia Sportage- Video

Today on our 2013 Kia Sportage, we'll be test fitting the Yakima Q Towers roof rack system, part numbers Y00409, Y00699, Y00683, and Y00124. With our Q Towers, round bars, and Q clips already assembled according to the included instructions, we'll begin our test fit by placing the front crossbar onto the front of our roof. We'll then need to measure from the front part of the glass to the first part of our Q tower 7-3/8". We'll make this measurement on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle to ensure the front crossbar is perpendicular to the roof line of our Sportage. With the front crossbar in place, we can turn the silver bolt on the inside of the tower and clamp down the black plastic levers to bring the clips up around tightly against the roof. With this done, we can place our rear crossbar onto the rear of our roof and measure the crossbar spread. more
