Where are Crossbars of Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack Placed on 2021 Kia Sorento

Published 09/15/2021

Question:

I have the Thule WingBar Evo model 127 for my 2021 Kia Sorrento. I know the two bars need to be spaced a minimum of 700mm apart from each other, but where should the front bar be placed? How far back from where the windshield meets the roof should the front cross bar be placed?

Because your Thule WingBar Evo roof rack fits directly to the flush rails on the roof of your 2021 Kia Sorento, the roof rack can be installed at any point along those rails as long as the center to center spread (distance) between the front and rear crossbar is approximately 700mm or 27-1/2 inches apart. As long as you keep the bar spacing at that approximate range, you can place the bars wherever you wish along the roof.
