Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Panoramic Sunroof on 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT
Question:
I have a brand new 2019 Elantra and I am looking for a roof rack and kayak carrier. What do you recommend that is compatible with the GT sunroof?

Expert Reply:
For a roof rack recommendation that is compatible with the Panoramic Sunroof on your 2019 Hyundai Elantra we have the AeroBlade roof rack system from Thule. This consists of the 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 Black or # TH711400 Silver, the Evo Feet # TH710501, and the Fit Kit # TH145112.
I like this roof rack because it is very easy to install and it gives you a very clean looking style that cuts down on wind noise and drag compared to the round or square crossbars.
Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. This is a J-Style carrier that allows you to carry up to 2 kayaks and uses a folding feature for the arms for a better look when you aren't carrying your kayak(s).
One of the best features of using a complete Thule system is the ability to add lock cores that all use the same key. If you install the part # TH450600 this keeps you from having to carry around more than one key to lock both your roof rack and kayak carrier.
