- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
If your roof has the E-Group rails you would need the part # RRRVP27 that you referenced as that is what this rack is designed to fit.
Otherwise you'd need the Yakima roof rack part numbers # Y00422, # Y00146, and # Y06121.
