Yakima Roof Rack for a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with Panoramic Sunroof and Flush Side Rails

Question:

Im looking to find out what racks are appropriate for the 2015 Santafe with the sunroof. Obviously, Id like full functionality of the sunroof while the rack remains in place. It has the low profile roof rails but I have the Yakima rail grab system off of my 2009 Murano and it looks like theres not enough clearance on this new Santa Fe. Thanks for your help. Also, do you still sell the Saris Cycle On Pro? Thanks again.

First, regarding the Saris Cycle-On Pro, that particular bike carrier has been discontinued. The only place it is mentioned on the Saris site even is in the archives of the manuals section. There are many other similar carriers though and I have included a link to them for you.

The Yakima RailGrab towers do actually fit the flush rails on your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Since you already have RailGrab towers you will only need the pin adapter, # Y8880201. The 2015 Santa Fe requires the 58 inch bars, # Y00409, which is what the 2009 Nissan Murano used so you should be good to go with just the pin adapters!

Yakima and all roof rack manufacturers state not to open the roof with the roof rack in place. However if you can position the roof rack so that it does not interfere with opening the roof at all then you can open it if you want to.
