Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers for a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with Panoramic Roof

Question:

I have a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with the Panoramic sunroof. After doing a little research on your site, I noted that this roof rack should work for my car: RR92SR It also appears that this watercraft carrier is compatible with both the above car and rack: 883 I noticed that the watercraft carrier only holds 1 kayak. Is it possible to fit two of the above watercraft carriers on the Rhino Rack # RR92SR at the same time and carry two kayaks simultaneously? If not, is there some other solution that you have available to allow me to carry two kayaks on the roof of my car? Lastly, I was perusing my cars manual and noted that it only provides a roof cargo weight rating for 2013 models which already have the factory flush roof rails. Do you have any indication of what roof capacity the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with a Panoramic sunroof has? Thanks for your help!

The Rhino Rack # RR92SR is a fit for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with panoramic roof. And kayak carrier # TH896 will fit the roof rack.

You could get two of the kayak carriers on the rack but a lot depends on the width of the kayaks. However, I am confident that you would not have issues getting two kayaks on the roof using the Rhino Rack and kayak carriers.

The roof rack has a capacity of 165 pounds. Please consult Hyundai for the roof capacity of the vehicle. It is likely going to be lower than 165 pounds so you will go by the lowest rating. If it is anything like older models of the Santa Fe, it is 75 pounds.
