Question:
What options do I have for a roof rack that will fit on a 2021 Kia soul with fix points and a sunroof. I need a system that will clear the roof. Please provide the parts numbers.

Hey Salvatore,
For your 2021 Kia Soul I recommend the Thule WindBar Roof Rack # TH46WG. This is a full kit ready to install on those fixed points on your Kia giving your 37" wide crossbars with a 165lb capacity. In terms of the sunroof, any roof rack or crossbar system may interfere with a sunroof. It is different with every vehicle and trim on how their sunroof opens. With that said the legs the crossbars attach to are going to be 4" tall giving you a 2 1/2-3" clearance. It may be possible, but in my experience with the noise crossbars make in the wind you are not going to want that sunroof open anyway.
What are you looking to use the roof rack for?
