Difference Between Thule Aero Roof Racks for a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Question:
I have a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. I want a Thule Rack. In general what is the difference between the two. Thanks! 1 Thule Aeroblade Bar Roof Rack KIT4029, TH7602, 7603 2 Thule Podium Aerobar Roof Rack KIT4029, THARB47, TH460R

The difference between the two different Thule Aero roof racks you mentioned is the feet style of the racks. The Aeroblade Edge part numbers # TH7602-TH7603 and # THKIT4029 uses crossbars that do not extend past the feet of the rack. This gives a very OEM look that will make the least amount of wind noise but the bars are a bit shorter.
The Podium Thule rack part # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT4029 that is also a fit for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport has bars that extend past the feet of the rack. The advantage to this system is that you get a longer crossbar. but it will sit up a bit higher and might make a bit more wind noise.
