Let's go ahead and start with the roof rack for your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe with flush mounted rails, and since you mentioned having 7 seats that means you have a GLS or Limited model, and the best option for a roof rack is from Rhino-Rack. Not only does Rhino-Rack give you the best overall value for a roof rack on your '15 Santa Fe, it also has the longest crossbars (54" to fit the most gear) and is the simplest to install, as you need only two pieces. The correct parts are the following:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2

- Rhino-Rack SRB Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails # RRSX032

That is all you'll need for the rack on your Santa Fe, so let's move on to the largest Thule rooftop cargo box, which has a whopping 22 cu. ft. of cargo space, the Force XT XXL or the Motion XT XXL, which are the following part numbers:

- Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B

- Thule Motion XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box - Titan Glossy # TH629907 or Black Glossy # TH629906

These are similar, low-profile cargo boxes with the Motion XT being slightly lower than the Force XT (17" from top of crossbar to top of box for Motion XT to 17-1/2" for Force XT). The biggest difference is the aesthetic - the glossy finish of the Motion XT vs. the diamond-textured Force XT - and the locking system.

The Motion XT has an easier to use SlideLock system that automatically locks the cargo box to ensure security no matter what, while the Force XT requires you to manually lock it.
