Question:

I have a Kia Optima 2015 with a panoramic roof. I was wondering if it is safe to have a roof rack on a panoramic? roof? Do you see any limitation? I was looking at the Rola model because its cheaper. Or do you suggest another model?? I have a thule sliding ski clamp universal adapter and I also would like to know if it will fit on the Rola rack?

Expert Reply:

Yes, you can absolutely use a roof rack on your 2015 Kia Optima with a panoramic roof. You will just need to verify the capacity of the roof in your owner's manual beforehand. The Inno Roof Rack part # INXB108-115, # INXS200, and # INK607 is an excellent option for you. It has aero shaped crossbars for reduced wind noise, and integrated channels for use with channel mounted accessories.

I am not really sure what part you are referring to as the "thule sliding ski clamp universal adapter" but as long as the rooftop accessory you are wanting to use works with channel mounts or aero crossbars then it should fit these crossbars.
