Recommend Roof Rails for a 2023 Kia Sportage With Flush Rails

Question:

Hello, I am shopping for cross bars for my 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid with factory installed roof rails. The search brought up model # Y28UV. From the pictures provided of the model I do not believe it will fit my vehicle. I am providing pictures of the roof rails.

You're right, the rails you have on your 2023 Kia Sportage are flush rails so the Yakima TimberLine FX Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # Y28UV are for raised rails.

Instead, you'd want to check out the Yakima SightLine FX Roof Rack for Flush Side Rails # Y63UV with the SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine and RidgeLine Roof Rack # Y87AR.
