Expert Reply:

The best roof rack for your 2024 Kia EV9 with raised side rails is from Yakima, and consists of the following part numbers:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00429 or Black # Y00426

- TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR

I really like the Yakima brand due to how quiet the bars are; they have what are called "WindRidges" on top that control the flow of the air both over and under the bar, which minimizes both vibration of the bar and wind noise.

It is also highly durable, as each part has a lifetime warranty, something I really like as it speaks to the quality of the rack. The only other thing I recommend considering are locks to help protect your investment, which you can add with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204.
