Today, we’re taking a look at our Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System, with the custom Fit Kit, for your 2019 Kia Sorento. The Sorento is a great vehicle for different types of situations. You have a lot of space inside for your friends and family, but you also have the ability to go on those different adventures. Now, what if you want a roof rack to carry around those different types of accessories though Let’s say you wanna carry around kayaks, or a roof box, or a roof basket, or even a roof-mounted bike rack. In that case, an aftermarket roof rack, like the one we have right here, might be the solution for you. So, this is the WingBar Evo roof rack system, with the 47 inch long Thule WingBar Evo crossbars.
We also have the Evo Feet for fixed mounting points, and then we have the custom-fit kit for your Sorento. So make sure, in order to get all of those things that matches your vehicle, to use our fit guide here at etrailer.com to find the kit for you. What impresses me with this one, is the ability to move the crossbars wherever I want them to go. That’s not usually something you would find for a fixed mounting point vehicle. So, here I have it set to 34 inches, just because that’s where the backs of the mounting holes are in the back of the Flush Rails.
You can move that forward though up to 36 inches if needed, which is where the end caps, or the top caps are on those rails. So, here’s the roof measurements with this too, because every roof rack will have a different height that it adds to top of your roof. Ours here is at top of the glass roof to top the crossbar, 4 1/2 inches. That’s where your cargo is gonna sit. If you have skis and snowboards, especially the skis with the extra tall bindings, you wanna make sure that they don’t hit your roof.
So if that’s the case, you know that clearance, and you can take a look at accessories that give you more clearance if needed. The second measurement is the space underneath the cross bar. So, here we have it at 3 1/2 inches. So, some accessories have clamps that go around. This is gonna be plenty of space, even for those with wing bolts and wing nuts, and U-bolts that go around.
As for overhang, you have a little bit, but not that much with the 47 inch crossbars. You can actually adjust it, or offset it, to one side or the other if needed. But you are limited to around, we have one inch of clearance here. You can maybe push it out to an inch and a half, or two inches if needed. So, not that much for some accessories that require a certain amount of overhang clearance. So for security, if you have the track-mounted accessories, the end cap pops open just like that. So, then you don’t really have that much security for those. Make sure you get get locking T-track-mounted accessories, if that’s what you’re looking for. Another thing is the tower. So, you have these plastic locks included, with the ability to upgrade to metal lock cores. So for the plastic locks, you just need to use a flathead screwdriver, or the back of a key, and you can now pop that end cap off and get access to that Allen key tightening down those clamps. So, in terms of the turning fit, you may wanna check out those metal lock cores as an upgrade. Installing this is actually pretty simple. You just have two different clamps, you have the special foot pad, and then you have the bolt that goes onto your tower. So we’re gonna start with the tower, and then I’m gonna show you how to get that onto the crossbar, and then we’re gonna get it onto your flush rails. So first, this is gonna be our first bolt. So, this is the bolt on the tower, and then we’re gonna get this clamp onto
