Best Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with Flush Rails

Question

Question:

I am looking for a roof rack system to carry my kayak. I have looked at the Yakima, but’s am not interested in a complex, obtrusive rack. I was thinking of something similar to the factory rack. I also have the panoramic roof window. What can you suggest? Thanks.

For a roof rack that will look the most like a factory rack on your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with flush rails I recommend taking a look at the Thule AeroBlade Edge # TH7602B-TH7603B for black or # TH7602-TH7603 for silver. For either of these you would also need fit kit # THKIT4029. The bars are integrated into the feet on this system giving it that OEM look.

For a kayak carrier that will fit either of the roof racks mentioned above you can use the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you.

Tracks can absolutely be installed on the roof of your A.R.E. Truck Cap to provide a mounting system for a roof rack. For this I recommend the Yakima Tracks, which come in 42 inch #Y01126, 54 inch #Y01127, and 60 inch #Y01135 lengths. These tracks…
