Roof Rack for 2011 Hyundai Tucson with Dual Glass Sun Roof

Expert Reply:

If your Tucson already has the factory side rails that run front to back, you can install crossbars using the following parts:

Thule Crossroad Foot Pack, part # TH450R
Thule AeroBlade Crossbars, part # THARB53

The Thule RapidAero crossbars you referenced have been discontinued and are no longer available.

If your Tucson has a bare roof, Thule does NOT recommend installing a roof rack on vehicles equipped with the glass roof.

Yakima does not have a prohibition, but they state that the roof and trim are very soft, and that care should be taken not to over tighten the clamps holding the rack in place, or the roof could become deformed. A rack can be constructed using the following parts:

58 Inch Crossbars, # Y00409
Vehicle Specific Q Clip, # Y00699
Vehicle Specific Q Clip, # Y00716
Q Tower, # Y00124

If your Tucson has a bare roof, I would personally be a bit reluctant to install a rack due to the prohibition of one of the manufacturers.
