Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with Panoramic Roof
Question:
What do I need to carry a kayak with my 2019 Santa Fe? I have the glass roof so I am not sure if a roof rack is an option.

You actually can use a roof rack on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with the panoramic roof!
I recommend going with the Thule AeroBlade roof rack because it is rated for 165 lbs and features an aerodynamic crossbar design that mounts on top of the roof rack feet so you have unrestricted access to the crossbars. For this setup you need the 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711200 Silver or # TH711220 Black, the Podium Foot Pack # TH460R, and the Fit Kit # THKIT4093. Adding the lock cores # TH450400 helps prevent theft of this system off of your Santa Fe.
Then for a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 because it allows you to carry up to an single 80 lb kayak or 2 kayaks weighing a total of 110 lbs. This carrier easily installs on the Thule crossbars with the clamping system and then you can add the locks # Y07202 to help prevent theft of this system off of your roof rack. When you aren't hauling your kayak around the arms have a folding feature for a sleek look.
I have attached some review videos of both the roof rack and the kayak carrier as well as a sample photo of the roof rack on a 2019 Santa Fe for you to check out.
