Which Roof Rack System Should I Use For My 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe With Flush Roof Rails?

Question:

Hi There. Im trying to find a cross bar system for my 2010 Hyundai Santa fe, 5 doors, with flush factory side rails. I see that Rhino-Rack Vortex is indicated as a good fit for my car, but I dont see details mentioning the side rails mounting, and I have the impression that the mounting kit included is for naked roofs. Could you help me figure it out? The Thule and Yakima options indicate the side rails, but not this one. Thank you

The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack setup you mentioned is confirmed to fit your 2010 Hyundai Sante Fe with flush factory side rails. This setup is made to clamp onto the door jam and does not actually mount onto the flush rails. Parts for this setup are as follows: Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Aluminum Cross Bars 54" # RRVA137B-2, Legs # RRRLKVA, Fit Kit # DK041.
