The Rightline Range Jr Rooftop Cargo Bag - Water Resistant - 10 cu ft - 36" x 32" x 15" # RL100R50 that you referenced will fit your daughters 2012 Kia Sorento with the side rails. I recommend checking out the Rightline Non-Skid Protection Pad # RL100650 because this pad will help prevent the cargo bag from moving when the vehicle is moving. You may also be interested in the Wheel Mount Tire Step # HE4040. This slides over the tire to make loading the cargo carrier easier.

Before loading the cargo carrier be sure and check the owners manual for the roof weight capacity and use that number as your guideline.

If your daughter would like to add crossbars to further keep the cargo bag from moving while in transit, I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long # MPG215. These crossbars include the locks and will add aero bars for your roof bag or other accessories.
