Question: Roof Rack?
I've been looking for a roof rack to fit the factory rails on my 2012 Sportage since I bought it last November. Now I see that Kia has a set of cross bars out, designed to fit their side rails. But I have yet to see any reviews.

Or is there another commercial alternative to the Kia rack?
Thanks!
