I just bought a new 2013 Sportage LX yesterday and when i got it home i realized, "Hey ...NOW I can finally use my kayak again!" But sadly I cannot. I realized it doesnt have rails to put crossbars on. Does anyone know if its possible to purchase the factory roof rails? If so How Much and where?
Thanks guys

I know I saw threads about this previously and it seems they are available in some countries but I don't think US. Although somebody did just post this a couple days ago, no rails required:
Rhino Rack - Roof Racks for KIA Sportage 5dr SUV SL 11 On

May I ask you how much you bought your LX for? And what's included?

Congrats btw

Kia has no "kit".The rails themselfs are list price $143.00 each, I'll sell for $110.00. The ends caps are $62.00 each , list, sale price of $49.00. there is front and rear mldgs needed as well thet are $31.00 sale price of 25.00 each. If you wanted all the hardware that will be extra.

rhino rack says not for unsealed roads

 

[Quikrain]

Maybe i'm just crazy, but i can't find the price on the Rhino Rack...
I wasn't sure what an unsealed roof was...But I guess it's not an option?

It's not rated for unsealed roads, which means not for offroading as the extra bumps break the rack.

I Paid Out the door TTT included 21,263.00 -They included Cargo Net,Wheel Locks, and Trunk Plastic Liner.
I thought I did alright...But I wish the rails where included.

 

[Quikrain]

Oh, Unsealed Roads...Sometimes I don't read good.

So I would need 2x Roof Rails $110.00, 2x End Caps $49.00, and 2x Moldings $25.00= $368.00 Total- Correct? + shipping of course.
And what does "all the hardware" include?
Thanks

Yes, your correct. No tax if you not in MI. The hardware would be nuts and bolts. The cross rail kit from Kia has a list of $210.00, yours for $169.00

4x end caps,no?

 

[r1concepts]

There are also companies such as Yakima, Thule, or Inno that make roof racks as well.

 

[Quikrain]

COBRA259- do you have a website or pics of product?
I called up my dealership and they said they don't offer the "Rails" as a Parts Accessory. Which I thought was strange...Maybe I'll try phoning another local dealer.

And I haven't looked into yakima or the others yet, my car's only 2 days old and I was initially just bummed. But I do like the stock look of the rails.
I'll also read up the forum about others experience w/yakima etc.

 

[r1concepts]

Many people that have Japanese cars typically use Yakima and Euro cars use Thule from what I noticed.

 

[engineered]

Thule doesn't have a rack for a naked roof.
Rhino and Yakima have fitments.

4x end caps,no?

So I'd only need 2x end caps...right?

 

[SlovaKIA]

sorry i thought you'd need 2 end cups per rail. double check on this. also its weird you don't have rails on top. i thought only a base model came without these,but you claim you bought LX version....

 

[Quikrain]

I thought it was supposed to also, but website also shows power folding mirrors standard, if I remember right. But mine has none. Just Flush black plasticfills in the Rail path. It looks fine, But i've just never not had rails. I'm concearned about scratching the paint on my roof with the others. Am I being paranoid?

 

[SlovaKIA]

Base model comes with manual tranny. If you have manual,i'd be asking dealer some questions.
