need to use the yakima q towers system for a 2005 kia optima roof rack setup
yeah thats correct d.carson. Thule Racks does not have a general purpose roof rack system that is compatible with the 2005 Kia Optima that you could then attach your kayak racks to. However, Yakima Racks makes the Yakima Q Towers multi-purpose roof rack system that will fit your Kia Optima roof top perfectly. The Yakima Q Tower system includes four Q Towers, two pairs of Q5 Clips (these Q Clips are specific to your 2005 Kia Optima) and two cross bars. You can then attach your Thule kayak carriers directly to the Q Tower front and rear cross bars (Thule kayak racks are designed to be compatible with Yakima round bars). Remember to choose the 58 inch length Yakima crossbars for your rooftop. This length will allow enough room to attach the kayak racks and carry your kayaks at the same time.
