We Test Drive ERKUL Roof Rack Bars for Kia Sedona

After spending two weeks with the ERKUL Roof Rack Cross Bars on our 2018 Kia Sedona, we're impressed with their performance and value. These aluminum crossbars installed directly onto our Sedona's flush rails in about 15 minutes, with no special tools required. The anti-theft lock system gave us peace of mind when parked overnight during our camping trip.

We loaded these racks with everything from our family's luggage to a kayak, and they remained sturdy with minimal wind noise even at highway speeds. The silver finish complements the Sedona's exterior nicely while resisting scratches better than we expected.

For Sedona owners looking to expand their cargo capacity without breaking the bank, these ERKUL racks offer a solid solution that balances affordability with quality construction. The included installation manual could be clearer, but overall, these crossbars delivered on their promises.

Our Road Test: Thule Wingbar Evo 135 Silent Performance

We recently put the Thule Wingbar Evo 135 (53") in Black through its paces on a 500-mile road trip. The sleek aerodynamic design isn't just for looks-we noticed a significant reduction in wind noise compared to our previous rack system. Even at highway speeds, the WindDiffuser technology effectively minimized that annoying whistle that typically accompanies roof racks. Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes with the included tools. The 53" length provided ample space for our kayaks while the T-track slots made attaching accessories a breeze. We appreciated the 220-pound load capacity which easily handled our gear. What impressed us most was how the black finish maintained its appearance despite exposure to various weather conditions. The SwingBlade end caps provided convenient access to the T-slots without removing the entire bar. For those seeking a premium, quiet roof rack solution, we found the Wingbar Evo 135 delivers as promised.
