Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2023 Kia Sorento- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. And today, we're talking about the Thule roof rack on top of our 2023 Kia Sorento. Now, a roof rack's a really good option for the Sorento for a few reasons.

So your roof's gonna be a great option for that. And if you don't own a hitch or your hitch was already being occupied by something else, that's gonna be another reason to store things on top of your roof. more

This roof rack system is also available as a kit with locks as part number TH450-50. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front bar onto the front of our roof. Now there is a crease in which we are going to use to help us position the front bar. We'll use the crease as a guide to make sure that our feet are right next to it, which will ensure our bar is perpendicular to the rear side rails. With the front bar in place, we can pop off the end caps, bring the rubber-coated steel straps around the rail and hook them into the connection points. more
