Question:
Will SR7095 CARRIER FIT ON 2012 KIA SORENTO? IT HAVE FACTORY ROOF RAILS BUT NO CROSS BARS. WHAT ACCESSORIES WILL I NEED TO USE THIS CARRIER SYSTEM?

The Vista XL Cargo box would work great on your Sorento, but you will need to first install cross bars that would provide an attachment point for the cargo box. The Thule Evo Raised Rail Kit, consisting of parts # TH710401 and # TH712400 includes the load bars, and the feet that attach the load bars to the existing side rails.
The crossbar system has a 100 lb weight capacity, you will want to make sure that the 38 lb weight of the carrier plus the weight of anything stored in it does not exceed that capacity.
