SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1010 will fit your 2016 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition but there are better options. Considering that your old roof rack put dents in the vehicle roof and the fact that the SportRack roof rack is only semi-custom (not quite universal but not custom either) a better solution is a true custom roof rack.

A custom roof rack does cost a little more but will fit and perform much better. The most cost effective custom fit option available for your 2016 Hyundai Elantra is # INXB138-2, # INXS250, and # INK629. This system also has more aerodynamic crossbars for less wind noise and drag and comes with locks.

Then for a kayak carrier you can use a J-style carrier such as # SR5511. This will hold one kayak so to hold a second you will need two of # SR5511.
