Roof Rack & Kayak Rack Recommendation for 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport With Flush Rails

Question:

Hi, I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa fe sport. This car and model has rails on the roof already but can or does any of your products match my factory rails for a kayak rack?

You mentioned your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport has rails, though I'm not sure if you were talking about just the flush-mounted side rails without a roof rack, or that you also had the factory roof rack. So in the interest of being thorough, I'll start with a roof rack that is the best option which will fit your '14 Santa Fe Sport with flush side rails.

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
- Rhino-Rack SRB Legs # RRSX032

Those two parts, the crossbars and legs, are all you will need in order to add a roof rack, and Rhino-Rack is definitely the best option because it gives you a really high-quality rack at a more economical price than other name brands. I have added a photo showing this set up on a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for you. Then for a kayak carrier (that will also work if you have the factory roof rack), a great option is our etrailer carrier:

- etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878

This is an outstanding option that is also a great value due to its combination of quality and cost-effectiveness. This carrier uses cushioned cradles to protect your kayak, has a robust 150 lb capacity which speaks to its overall strength and durability, folds down for easy storage, and comes with tie-downs so you don't have to purchase those separately.
