Snailfly Roof Racks Cross Bars Fit for 2021-2025 KIA Sorento & Sorento HYBIRD Rooftop Cargo Crossbars with Lock (Only for Non-X-LINE Models with Flush Side Rails)

Overall: Solid crossbar that will hold a bag or whatever attachment. Obviously, better ones exist but this one will do the trick for more mild weather conditions. If you are in freezing conditions I expect that water will get in the cover and freeze it. Although, I am not sure why anyone would need to take it off at that point anyway. That said, works great for us.Good:1. Price2. Easy to install3. Rubber on clamps4. Plenty of room for sunroof5. Doesn't make too much noiseBad:1. Poor instructions (but there are youtube videos)2. Didn't have hex key (fallen wrench) needed for install3. Can't go all the way back on the rails but goes far enough4. The clamp covers aren't a perfect fit5. The lock cover needs a gasket or something to make it fit tighter. Water will definitely get in there if it's raining. I don't think that it will negatively affect anything in the short term but it might make some parts rust in the long term.

I purchased these Snailfly crossbars for my 2021 Kia Telluride at substantial savings compared to what I would've paid at the car dealership. They worked great, looked sharp, and were not difficult to install despite the somewhat confusing instruction sheet.I recently went on a trip with the crossbars attached to my car, and inadvertently unlocked the 4 attachment point heavy duty plastic covers with the key, thinking I was locking them on instead, and at the end of the trip I discovered that two of the 4 covers had fallen off and were lost. (The crossbars remained structurally intact, but the system was cosmetically compromised.)I contacted Snailfly through Amazon and asked if I could purchase replacement covers rather than having to replace the entire system, and they immediately responded with a nice email, including pictures of the various parts to make sure they knew what I needed. They then mailed me the two replacement parts free of charge!I was very impressed with the quality of the product, reasonable price, and especially the excellent customer service response to my problem. Snailfly has earned my loyalty in spades!

THIS IS AN UPDATE: Amazon support quickly issued an RMA and also processed a replacement order. THIS WAS GREAT. This allowed me to do more research on the item and made a plan on how to go about installing it 2nd time around.2 Days later, replacement product arrived, and knowing more about the crossbars, I was able to install in an hour. Again, no thanks to the enclosed instructions, more thanks to the people on this forum.To further update,1) The long bar is for the front.2) All 4 footings are the same, there is no right or front or what not.3) You will have to use some elbow grease to pop the footings in placed. Once in, tighten up the bolts, and you are done.4) Entire covers do come off, you will need to use the key to take them off the footings and also to lock them in place. The cover to the key is also tethered so it's good.5) received 2 keys, and only 1 wrench.Overall, satisfied with the install and looks. Just needs a better installation / instructions sheet.Wish I could test it out with something to haul....My 2 previous racks have been Thule and have had no issues with them.As per other posting here,1) instructions may as well have been by a 3rd grader, just aweful.2) The footings are not mark which ones are front left, front right, it is a trial and error.3) The cover, to the footings, though tethered, the tether snap off like a cracker.4) The cover themselves does not fit back once the footings are installed.5) The shipment only came with one allen wrench, per instructions, it should be 2.A) Per other post, you are suppose to install in specific distances. From my estimate, they are correct, but no where in the instructions does it say that front rack has to be X inches from and the rear rack has to be X inches from. So take it from us, who have installed these, not just a shot in the dark.Luckily, Amazon is replacing so I will need to update this post.

Fit a 2023 Telluride perfectly. The instructions say that on most vehicles the larger bar goes in the rear. On the 2023 Telluride, the larger bar fit in the front. I’m very happy with this purchase.

The very first time I used this product, the plastic casing that secures it to the car broke on the rear driver side. I had made it about 80 miles, loaded up for a camping trip with a kayak and 2 paddle boards supported by these bars on top of my car; and happened to have been driving on the highway at 65 mph when 2 paddle boards came flying off my car. Luckily they didn’t hit anything but one paddle board did break. As well as 2 paddles, a kayak rack, and I lost a tie down strap. When I pulled over to figure out what happened, I realized the the plastic piece that holds it to the car had broken. I contacted the seller and they quickly issued a refund and offered a replacement. I declined the replacement but requested replacement of the paddle board and the kayak rack. They told me to contact Amazon, who told me to contact the seller. So now I’m going in circles trying to replace the items that were damaged due to this item failing on the first use.This whole situation was extremely dangerous and I’m very lucky that no one was hurt. But I’d definitely caution against these bars and I hope this situation doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Fit perfectly on our XC60 and made a 1200 mile round trip road trip without issue. With the cargo basket we took about a 30% hit on gas mileage but that's to be expected. The rails were very easy to install and felt well made. There was a little wind noise above 65 mph but not enough to be distracting. I would definitely recommend this product.
