Installing Roof Cross Bars on the Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Accessory kit

Installing cross bars on the roof rails will also allow you to fit a roof box, ski rack, or bike carrier. By choosing the original cross bars, installation is simply a matter of placing the bars and aligning the respective supports to the two holes on the inner edge of both roof rails. Once alignment is complete, release the triangular external safety lock and rotate it to securely fasten the bar, then close the lock and secure it with the anti-theft key. After securing, you can then insert the rubber strip by removing the side cap.
