Looking for a rhino rack system for a 2019 Kia Sorento naked roof. Web site shows one for a 2015, not sure if it is the same? Thank you for your patience To

Since your 2019 Kia Sorento has the naked roof we will need to use a different brand since the Rhino-Rack roof rack will only fit if your Sorento had the flush rails.

The alternative that fits is the Yakima roof rack and I recommend using the JetStream crossbars as they give you the aero-style with the T-Slots for various accessory mounting solutions:

50" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00425
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kits - # Y06159 and # Y06170
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)

Attached is an installation video and a photo of this rack on a 2019 Sorento for you to check out.
