Question:
My 2019 Kia Sorento has no rack system in place. There are channels on both sides of the roof with a plastic running the length of the channel. Does Thule make a fitting for the tower that fits the channel or does it use a metal strap system inside the top of the roof where the door closes?

Expert Reply:
Thule does offer a roof rack system for your vehicle using the WingBar Evo # TH711200 crossbars you'd looked at. The system attaches to the vehicle using the the roof rails you mention. This system would be assembled using the following:
# Thule TH711200 Crossbars
# Thule TH710601 Flush Rail Feet
# Thule TH186033 vehicle specific fit kit
If the roof of your Sorento did NOT have those rails, you'd need a rack that uses a fit kit that clamps to the upper door jambs.
If you click the provided link, you can see an installation video showing how the racks assemble and exactly how they mount to the roof rails.
