Question:

I have a 2016 Kia Soul with panoramic sunroof and I need a roof rack that will fit and be able to carry 2 kayaks. Also- will my vehicle profile still fit into my garage if I leave the kayaks on?

Expert Reply:

For your 2016 Kia Soul with the panoramic glass roof, I recommend checking out the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars # TH69FE with the clamp feet # TH79SC, and the fit kit # TH145037.

These crossbars measure 41" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall, has a maximum dynamic weight capacity of 165-lbs, and has an integrated t-slot so you can use roof mounted accessories.

For a kayak carrier, I recommend checking out the Yakima JayLow Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073.

This kayak carrier can carry up to 2 kayaks with a total weight capacity of 110-lbs, has built in ramps for easy unloading and loading, and installs easily using a clamp-on style mount.
