Question:

What length Aeroblade would you recommend to use the Thule Hullavator for a 2019 Kia Sorento with the glass roof?

asked by: Mark M

Expert Reply:

For your 2019 Kia Sorento with glass roof to utilize the Thule Hullavator # TH898 which requires 4-8 inches of crossbar beyond the feet, I recommend using the Thule WingBar Load Bars - 53" # TH711420 to get the minimum 4 inches over the feet. The WingBar has recently replaced the AeroBlade you referenced. If you would rather have more clearance on the side of your vehicle, then you can use the 60 inch # TH711520 to give you closer to 7-1/2 inches on the outside of your feet.

With either option you will still use the Foot Pack # TH710601 and the Fit Kit # TH186033. Then you can use locks # TH450400 to secure your system.
