The Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 referenced in your question will work perfectly on your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe factory roof rack as long as it has a crossbar spread of 24 to 36 inches. This simply refers to the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center of the other. As long as this dimension is between 24 and 36 inches the box will mount without issue to the roof rack. The width and length of the crossbars themselves will not be an issue.

One other measurement you will want to take is the length from the rear crossbar on your Santa Fe to the rear edge of the roof. This measurement will need to be at least 21 inches in order for the rear hatch on the vehicle to open without interference from the cargo box.

This is a really nice cargo box that will provide you with 18 cubic feet of storage and 3 lid locking points. The dual side opening lid will allow you to access the box from either side of the vehicle and its low profile design will deliver a sleek, aerodynamic shape. The box itself measures 78-3/4 inches long, 32-3/8 inches wide, and 15-3/4 inches tall.

I have attached the written installation instructions on this product that you can also take a look at.
