Question:
I have a 2025 Kia Sorento and I want to carry a kayak on top. I have low-profile rails but no cross rails. Can you help me with that at all? Thx.

Hey Dan, it's good to hear from you again - and congrats on the new Sorento!
Sounds like you've got the flush rails so for that I recommend picking up the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack # TH34QG. I really like the Thule brand roof racks because they have a higher quality and are easier to install than most other roof racks on the market.
As for the kayak carrier, I see you're looking at the Malone SeaWing # MPG107MD which is a great option, but I also recommend checking out the SeaWing as Kit # MPG113MD because it comes with the rear load assist roller on the back. I don't do a ton of kayaking, but I do know your arms will thank you for any extra help once you get back out of the water and are ready to load up.
What do you think about the Thule roof rack and SeaWing carrier?
