2016 Kia Soul Roof Rack Installation And Review Videos

Yakima Roof Rack Installation - 2016 Kia Soul- Video

Today in our 2016 Kia Soul we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Roof Rack system, consisting of part numbers Y00425, and these are the JetStream Crossbars, part number Y00148, and these are the SkyLine Towers for the Yakima Crossbars for fixed mounting points, and the part number Y00233, and these are the landing pads that the towers are actually going to sit in. We already have the front one installed and, as you can see, with the bars here, they have a nice aerodynamic shape to them, and that's going to cut down wind noise and drag when you're driving. Combined with the other bar, they're going to have a carrying capacity of 165 pounds although you will want to double-check with your vehicle's manual to make sure that your vehicle can withstand that kind of weight on its roof. Let's go ahead and show you how the rear one installs. Here on this table, we have the bars, our landing pads, and our towers, and all the hardware needed to put this on our vehicle. We'll first go ahead and remove the strip here in the bar. Normally you would remove the strip, then install the towers on either side and cut the strip to length, to between, so you know exactly what measurement needs to be each time, but for demonstration purposes, we're just going to go ahead and leave that out today. more

Along with the other bar that we're about to install, it has a carrying capacity of 220 pounds, which is a little extra load than the usual roof rack system.
