Thule Roof Rack Recommendation That Can Open for 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with Panoramic Roof

Question:

I have a 2017 Hyundia Sante Fe SE Ultimate with factory side rails but no crossbars. Can the glass roof be opened with the Thule AeroBlade Edge and nothing mounted on the rack? Are there any other racks you would recommend that would provide enough clearance?

The Thule Aeroblade Edge roof rack part numbers # TH7602B-TH7603B and # THKIT4029 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with the glass panoramic roof and factory flush rails. Thule states that with this rack since it has such a low profile you will want to check to see if you have clearance to open the roof carefully by slowly opening it.

The Aeroblade rack part numbers # TH711200, # TH460R, and # THKIT4029 on the other hand does not have this same recommendation so the glass roof would fit under the bars when open.
