Question:

Im interested in a roof rack from my 2014 Hyundai Sonta. I would be using a cargo bag. Im not sure what kind or rack would best fit my needs without spending a lot of extra money. Any recommendations? Thank you

Expert Reply:

If your Sonata does NOT have the glass roof, I'd recommend the reasonably priced Rhino Rack Euro Crossbar rack, which would be constructed of the following:

Rhino Rack 2500 Series Aero Crossbar, part # RRVA126B-2
Leg Kit, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle specific clamp kit, part # DK250

If you do have the glass or panoramic roof, the Rhino Rack roof system is not recommended. In that case, the Inno roof rack, part # INXB108-2, # INXS200, and # INK604 would be compatible.

Keep in mind, if you have the glass roof and use the Inno rack, you should not under any circumstances have the cargo bag resting on the glass roof. Using a cargo basket that would raise the load up off the roof like the Yakima # Y07138 OffGrid would be recommended. I would not operate the roof with the rack in place unless you are absolutely sure the roof rack won't impede its operation.
