Roof Rack Fit for 2018 Elantra GT Sport Hatchback

Question:

Does this rack fit the Elantra GT Sport Hatchback. The Vehicle ion does not drill down to sub-models. I think GT Hatchback is longer than the Sedan. Im not sure on the width, I also wonder if the price includes everything to mount to the vehicle. The price seems much lower than MSRP. So I wondered if it was missing something.

Although we have roof rack options for your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback, unfortunately the Rola # R5024 isn't a fit.

The most economical option available is the Thule Square Bar roof rack, which consists of the following parts:

53 Inch Long Square Crossbars # TH712400
Roof Rack Feet # TH710501
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit # TH145112

The drawback to square crossbars is that they're noisy, the wind resistance can cause some noise once you reach highway speeds.

An aero-style crossbar would be much more quiet. You could assemble an aero-style rack with these parts:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711400
Roof Rack Feet # TH710501
Fit Kit # TH145112

If your Elantra GT has the glass panoramic roof, Thule recommends that you DO NOT open, vent or retract it while the rack is in place or the roof as well as the rack could be damaged.
