Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with Roof Rails

Question:

I’m in the market for rhino back vortex aero kit and I own a Santa Fe who was fitted with the factory roof rails. I know the rails will fit the vehicle but I was wondering if it’s possible to operate the sunroof with the rails installed? thinking ahead to the summer weather, thanks.

For your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with factory roof rails order parts # RRVA137B-2 and # RRSX032.

Since all roof racks make some amount of noise when you drive, most owners tend to keep a sunroof closed after a roof rack is installed. If you install carriers for bikes, kayaks or luggage on the roof rack these items' mounting hardware may interfere with the sunroof even if the roof rack itself does not. Those other carriers will also make their own noise!

The general wisdom is to keep a sunroof closed when there is anything on the roof.
