Can anyone enlighten me on where holes can be safely drilled on the roof? Gutter-type (those that clamp via door and gutter) mounts will not do it for me since I want a long(ish) roof rack covering most of the roof area and the design of the sorento only allow those mounts to be used further at the front half area of the cabin.
Has any 1st gen sorento owner done something similar before? I'd appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
