Question:

Will this work on the above model?

Expert Reply:

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

53 inch Thule WingBars, part # TH711400 in silver or # TH711420 in black
Evo raised rail feet, part # TH710401

On the other hand 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:

50 Inch Crossbars, # Y00425
Vehicle Specific BaseClip, # Y06175
Vehicle Specific BaseClip, # Y06178
BaseLine Tower, # Y28TR
