Recommended Roof Rack for 2021 Hyundai Sonata with Panoramic Moon Roof

Question:

there isn’t a lot of real estate for a roof rack with the panoramic roof! what are my options?! do you have any pictures of racks installed on a 2021 sonata with roof rack installed?!

Because your 2021 Hyunda Sonata has the panoramic sunroof, any compatible roof rack system will utilize the door jams and surround to mount to the vehicle instead of the actual roof. This will give you some options for your 2021 Hyundai Sonata, but unfortunately we don't have any photos of anything installed as of yet.

With that said, I recommend using the Yakima Roof Rack system for 2021 Hyunda Sonata that uses the following parts:

Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00421
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06180
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06153

These parts will give you a great looking Yakima roof rack and the CoreBars are aerodynamically shaped to help reduce wind noise. You will not typically have operation of the panoramic moon roof when the rack is attached, so you'll want to remove it when not in use.

I was able to locate an installation video of this rack on a 2011 Hyundai Sonata for you to use as a rough guide for installation, as well.
