Question:

Kia Soul 2015 with huge sunroof. I am looking for an easy to install roof rack for my car. I would like if the sunroof could still open with the rack installed, if possible. What rack do you recommend and do I have to have it professionally installed? Thanks for a fast response.

There is one roof rack that fits your 2015 Kia Soul with a panoramic sunroof, and it is both easy to install and will allow you to open the sunroof. Just note that if you are using accessories that clamp on underneath the crossbars (as opposed to installing in the crossbar channels) you'll want to be sure that you have enough clearance to open the sunroof so it doesn't contact those clamps. Otherwise, the roof can be fully opened, and here is what you'll need:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711400 or Black # TH711420

- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501

- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Feet # TH145037

You do not need to have this professionally installed it is definitely something that anyone can do. The fit kit just gets attached to the feet, the feet slide onto the bottom of the crossbars, and you tighten the feet to your '15 Soul with the tool included with the rack. It really is super simple.

This will give you a very quiet, highly durable rack system so you can easily carry whatever gear you need. The only other thing I recommend considering are locks which secure the rack to your Kia; you add these with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400.
