- Difference Between Rhino-Rack Vortex And Thule Aeroblade Roof Racks For 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
- Both the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero and Thule AeroBlade roof rack systems have very nice features and would work well for your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. Both systems are designed to work on vehicles that have the flush mounted rail system.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Loud Whistling After Rhino Rack Roof Rack Install
- Did you install the rubber strip in the upper and lower channel of the crossbars? What you described sounds like you are missing that as these are aero bars and should not be whistling at all.
If there are any holes in the channel on the bottom or top of the bar they should be covered to get rid of the noise.
Or you can use a fairing like part # RRRF3 to direct the air over the rack.

- There are several ways you can go to rig your 2015 Toyota Highlander with fixed factory roof crossbars for transporting kayaks.

- The E-Group rails are ones that have a chrome section that runs down the middle of the rail. The non-E-Group rails are totally black without a chrome section. I attached a picture that has the chrome section pictured.

Otherwise you'd need the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00422, # Y00146, and # Y06121.

- I may have a solution that will allow you to load your Pro Angler 14 foot kayak on the roof rack of your 2013 Honda CR-V, but before you select a kayak carrier for your vehicle, I strongly recommend checking the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof. The weight capacity of most vehicle roofs is not very high and this information should be located in your owner's manual.
