KIA Sedona Roof Rack

Contacted my local KIA Sedona dealer to purchase some KIA Sedona roof rack cross bars. The KIA Sedona dealer informed me they could order OEM YAKIMA KIA Sedona Cross Bars for My KIA Sedona Roof Rack. I decided to try the much cheaper Universal fit Cross Bars for my KIA Sedona Roof Rack. I ordered a set of RAGE Powersports Universal Cross Bars for my KIA Sedona Roof Rack from Amazon.

 I am Very pleased with my KIA Sedona roof rack universal crossbars.

The KIA Sedona crossbars should be placed in the proper load carrying positions  prior to placing items onto KIA Sedona roof rack. Recommended 165 pounds maximum weight that can be loaded onto the KIA Sedona roof rack. Distribute the load as evenly as possible across the KIA Sedona crossbars and KIA Sedona roof rack and secure the load firmly.

 If the KIA Sedona is equipped with a sunroof, be sure not to position cargo onto the KIA Sedona roof rack in such a way that it could interfere with KIA Sedona sunroof operation.

Always drive slowly and turn corners carefully when carrying items on the KIA Sedona roof rack. Severe wind updrafts, caused by passing vehicles or natural causes, can cause sudden upward pressure on items loaded on the KIA Sedona roof rack. This is especially true when carrying large, flat items such as wood panels or mattresses. This could cause the items to fall off the KIA Sedona roof rack and cause damage to your KIA Sedona or those around you. To prevent damage or loss of the KIA Sedona cargo while driving the KIA Sedona , check frequently before or while driving to make sure the items on the KIA Sedona roof rack are securely fastened.
