OMAC Roof Rack Cross Bars Carrier Aluminium for Kia Soul 2020-2022 Black 2 Pcs Anti-Theft for Travel Kayak Canoe Surf Ski Snowboard Camping

ProsLooks Good, Solid Product, Straight forward Install.ConsHard to get bolts lined up with threads in the car. This is the fault of the Car Design not the Rack design.Once lined up and downward pressure applied to lower the seal all worked out. It was a little difficult at first to apply the pressure and keep the alignment. At first I thought maybe bolts were too short but once I figured out that I needed to compress the boot/seal It worked fine.would like to know where to purchase the bolts that fit in the slots for the attachments. I have some older accessories that I would like to use the captive bolts to attach.

Bought these based on the price and speed with which I would receive them.There really is no easy way to install these, but that is the fault of Kia and not the fault of the rails. That 1 bolt hole set at a slight angle is quite possibly the most infuriating setup I have ever encountered.I used a Sharpie to draw a line from the location of the bolt hole down to below the feet so I could gauge the location correctly and not be prodding blindly when trying to catch the threads. Another suggestion is to stand on a chair or something else to be above the install and not below it. Put a little grease on the threads of the bolt and screw it into the hole just to clear the threads and make it easier to grab.Took 10 minutes for the first foot and less than 5 minutes for the other 3. Yank out the footing a bit to move it in at an angle to catch the threads. I cranked on the rails after the install and they look sturdy enough for the pod going on top.*added pics after the 2900 mile trip. The bars held the fully loaded pod in all conditions. Never any issues or doubts in rain, wind or speed.

Just installed this on my 2020 Kia EX. Yes it fits except one issue - the bolts they provided are too long for the front bar. You can amend that by using washers or nuts to make it tight but then the cover will not slide on properly. So I am off to Home Depot to buy some shorter bolts. I need the rack to carry two 44 pound kayaks. I will update review when I learn how well this rack carries the weight. Agree with others that it comes with the world's worst instructions, however it really is quite simple to see how things are supposed to go together. Given the difference in price between this product and OEM product it is worth a shot! Hey, it looks real cool!

TL;DR: With no damage and better quality control the cost of this roof do would have been a louder but otherwise passable roof rack compared to the OEM ($250ish) or a Yakima/Thule ($650-$750ish), so buy with this in mind.Pros:-Decently easy install for those with some experience installing gear on cars and working with tools.Cons:-Poor instructions, a single page with little detail.-Instructions suggest torque ratings but doesn't provide too or instructions on how to apply this in any way.-Quality Control issues, including a broken part, obviously defective powder coating, many rough or unfinished edges and marks on the metal.-Questionable weatherproofing, weak lock mechanism.Bottom line, if you want a clean install with solid QC get the OEM or big name aftermarket racks. If this is your choice just make it knowing what you're getting, a decent entry level rack with some install challenges and some poor fit and finish, and maybe some QC issues as well.

This is a great product. Especially, for the cost! The instructions could use an update, but the important stuff is labeled or in the directions. Make a point to think about how it is going to go together before you start and you will be fine. The elbows that attach to the car are what accommodate the difference in length between the front and the back bar mounting holes on the car. I measured the difference at about 2". Remember to orient the rubber base so that it will provide a flat mounting surface for the rack on the sloped roof of the car, one side is taller and there is a top and bottom. The curved plastic piece sits inside the rubber base.Once the rack is mounted and the cross bar is evenly spaced, don't forget to tighten (clockwise) the wedge that will keep the bar from shifting between the elbows, It will take a long time if you use the allen wrench provide, just keep at it. The tab on the cover piece slides in on top of the rubber part of the cross bar.I could not be happier with this roof rack!

This product is incredibly difficult to install on a 2017 Kia Soul. This is because the factory rooftop screws are tapped at ~20-35 degree angle. They are not straight (90 degrees), at least on my car. The holes drilled on the mounts for this roof rack were drilled at a solid 90 degrees. While I was able to get it installed (~3 hours of fumbling), the plastic is under constant stress due to the angle of the factory mounts.Very difficult to install. If you have the budget, go OEM or if you don't, use the universal fitting crossbars (usually <$100). Otherwise, these do look quite good once they are installed. But the process really isn't fun. If you have the means to modify these crossbars to fit the angle of the factory mounts better, by all means, do it.Oh, and the bolts are short. Because I didn't want to go out and purchase new bolts, I omitted a piece of mounting plastic in between the main mount and the rubber bottom to give the bolt enough thread to reach the factory mount.Overall: If I had another Kia Soul in the family, I would avoid purchasing this product for it again. I would purchase the OEM or the universal cross bars.

Great roof rails. Easy assembly. Only issue was the bolts that went into the roof of my Kia. Once I found the sweet spot they went in.
