Welcome to Jennings Kia today we are going to be fitting a set of roof bars to a Kia Sportage.
The bars come partly pre-assembled. We do have stickers on the bottom of the bar to indicate where you need to put the bars.
This one indicates rear left so this needs to go on the rear left-hand side of the car.
There is two slots/holes cut into the back of the rail, they are there to help you guide where the rail needs to be, you need to put the rail across the centre of the two holes.
Once the rails are positioned you lift the locking mechanism up turn it clockwise, just hand tight, to lock the rail in place.
Once that’s done you take the key that comes with the kit and turn it roughly 90 degrees to lock the locking mechanism in place.
Once the roof bars are installed you remove the end caps by just giving them a wiggle out. You then can install the top seal by just simply sliding it in. Feeding it through, all the way across.
Once that’s installed you can the refit the end cap.
Again for the rear bar, remove the end cap and slide the seal in and then pop the end cap back in.
Supplied in the kit to fill the gaps on the underneath of the bar is some plastic shroud. I’ve pre-cut these but you will need to cut them to size and just simply slot them in.
And that’s it we’re all done.

Darren Robinson says:

my 2017 CRDI 1 doesn't have the rails on the roof to attach this to, can I get the rails for the car?

Richard Roll Podiatrist says:

This guy says the clamp fits BETWEEN the two holes on the rail; mine DO NOT, if I fitted mine like this then they would potentially fall off when I was driving. There is a locating lug that MUST fit into one of the holes, otherwise the roof bar clamp will not fit flush to the rail. It can be a bit of a job to get it to fit, mind.

Fabiola Merritt says:

I bought a sportage last week but it came without the basic rail. Can I buy those in Kia?

Hi, do you have to push out the holes on the roof rails of the car? The holes on my Kia Sportage rails are still intact.Thanks
