Hey Michael,

So your 2022 Kia Sorento X-Line should have raised side rails to mount a roof rack, and you mentioned Yakima, which is exactly what I recommend. I really like Yakima 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 right fit for your '22 Sorento with raised side rails is the following:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425

- TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # Y33TR

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.

Hey Michael, how did the Yakima JetStream crossbars and TimberLine towers work out on your Sorento X-Line? Did the setup stay as quiet as you hoped on the road? Your feedback could help others looking for a similar roof rack fit.
