Question:

Hello, I have a 2020 Kia Sportage with no roof rails installed. All I have is a groove with a snap on cap about 1-1/4 inch wide. Is there a roof rail system that I can have installed and a rooftop support rack for a rooftop tent. Thank you

Expert Reply:

Yes, we do have options to add a roof rack to your 2020 Kia Sportage without roof rails. I recommend the Kia Sportage Roof Rack by Yakima. You will need the following parts:

Yakima HD Crossbars 500 lbs Capacity Aluminum - Black - 55" Long - Qty 2 item # Y01156

BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # Y28TR

HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4 item # Y03541

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 item # Y06125

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 item # Y06153

Optional, but highly recommended to prevent theft is the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) item # Y07204.

I have linked a review video below that will show you the process for installing this roof rack.
