The Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier, part # TH599000, is designed to fit square, aero, and round crossbar configurations, as well as most factory bars as well. According to Thule for your 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT with the factory roof rack installed, this rack will work for you. with this carrier there is no need to remove the wheels, and the carrier does not use the bike frame to hold it in place.

For added security I recommend the Thule One-Key Lock Cylinders, part # TH450200. These can be used on the carrier and helps to deter theft when the bike is loaded on the carrier.

I have attached a couple of video you can check out for the UpRide carrier and the locks.
