OEM Kia Sportage Roof Rack Cross Bars (Part Number: DWF21-ACA00) are designed specifically for 2023–2026 Sportage models with RAISED roof rails, which are standard on the X-Line and X-Pro trim levels. They retail around $500 shipped and can securely support up to 165 lbs of evenly distributed weight. These genuine cross bars offer a direct, clamp-style fit for your existing factory raised rails, requiring no cutting or drilling. Crafted from durable aluminum in a sleek black finish, they provide a secure base for roof attachments like bike racks, cargo boxes, and kayak mounts. Each kit comes with two cross bars, anti-theft locking mechanisms, keys, and installation instructions.

These have never been used or fully installed. I opened them and realized quickly they were not compatible with the regular Sportage EX.
