How to Get a Yakima KingJoe Pro Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Fit a 2016 Kia Sportage  

Question:

Expert Reply:

I checked with Yakima and the KingJoe Pro bike racks do fit the 2016 Kia Sportage. The Joe Measurement for this rack and vehicle is 26 inches and they have the following fit information:

1) Place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.
2) Outer/lower support frame rests on the lower trunk lip, hatch lid, or rear door.
3) Place the lower strap hooks at the bottom edge of the trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.
4) Side strap hooks to back side edge of trunk, hatch, or rear door below tail lights.
5) Yakima trunk mounted racks require use of Yakima’s Glass Hatch Hook Accessory in place of the lower strap hooks. One set of the Glass Hatch Hooks is included with each Yakima Trunk Carrier.

It is that last one that I think pertains to this situation. If you do not have the glass hatch hook accessory it mentions then you can replace it with # Y02612.
