Question:

RE: Thule WingBar Edge Roof Rack for 2017 Hyundai Tucson with Flush Rails Looking at you info you have here on your site, this appears to be the correct set for our 2017 Tucson. One questions, that I’ve not found an answer for is regarding the sunroof. We have the full glass panoramic sunroof. Can you confirm if they sunroof will clear the crossbars on this set up if opened? Or do we need be sure to keep the sunroom closed while the rack is on? Thanks

You are correct the Thule roof rack kit, with the parts listed below, is the correct set for a 2017 Hyundai Tucson with flush rails. You should have plenty of room to open your sunroof but I do not know how tall it is when opened. However, I can tell you the Edge Clamp Feet item # TH89SC that attaches to your flush rails measures 3-1/2" tall including the rubber foot pad. This would be in addition to the height of your flush rails. Like I said should be plenty of room but can't give you an absolute yes. There's nothing that says you can't but I will say all of these roof racks make so much noise when you open your sunroof while driving that you probably won't want to have it open if you're on the highway.
