We just have 2 cross bars on our vehicle and it worked perfectly. We recently traveled to another state, almost 600 miles away. Around 70-80 MPH speeds and the carrier did not move at all. We also used additional straps to secure it even more!

Did you ever get this to work on your Santa Fe? I bought this in March and had not had a nice day to try to put this on until today. The crossbars on our Santa Fe only expand to about 25"? Needless to say, not a perfect fit.

I'm not sure I understand your question -- it sound to me like you are asking if this is the complete roof rack. This product includes the cross rails only, and is meant to slide into your existing roof rack side rails (I haven't seen a Santa Fe that doesn't come with the side rails, but I'm sure it is possible). Hope this helps.

I also have a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and it was enough to cover all four doors, the tailgate and a few extra small places...you definitely would need 2-3 boxes to cover everything...But also keep in mind, you only need roughly 25% surface area coverage to be effective. No need to over do it! (2 boxes would probably be enough)You can check out sounddeadenershowdown dot com for a better explanation!

If you are planning to mount the carriers to your rack's crossbars, you will have an issue with too much weight. They are similar to the crossbars on my 2002 Ford Taurus Wagon. The stock hardware will mount to a crossbar that is no more then 1-7/8" wide by about 1-1/4" deep. I priced aftermarket crossbars from Thule and Yakima and found them to be over $300. I ended up making my own that locked into the rack channels on each side of the roof. I used 1" black steel water pipe and used U-Bolts for the hardware. Unless you are willing to buy some crossbars or can fabricate them yourself, these are not the racks for you.

Hey Katherine,You should ask the company directly for the best answer. I don't understand how you could have 2 "tubes" (round bars?) on top of your car and remove one for this car top carrier? In-any-case, the mounting hardware that came with my cargo carrier is generic and would accomodate two round pipes or bars. You could easily buy other hardware ("U" clamps) for an even tidier assembly. I like my SportRack vert much. I use straps to provide addition security. I don't even notice it's on top of my car and it does not effect my gas mileage.

The listing pictures must be stock photos and not specific to the model. I ordered on for mid-size truck and it did not come with forward most cross bar. It lists this in the material list and shows it on the box, however it was not there. I found out that only the "FULL SIZE" rack comes with this bar. I made one and it works fine...I do like the product and it was easy to install. I like the aluminum construction because I live and work the Gulf Coast with salty air and rust is an issue with steel. I would call customer service to be sure you are getting what you SEE with the model you are ordering.Overall....satisfied. The listing pictures must be stock photos and not specific to the model.

If you have the metal, C-channel installed, that's all you should need. My kit came with all of the mounting hardware for the cross-beams. I do, however, recommend getting an air deflector for the front cross-bar. It will whistle and hum like hell. Or you have to move the bars way back, and then move them up again to use them. I did a lot of research about the noise. I ended up getting the 32" or 36" from Rhino. It's was the best quality for being affordable. And it was small enough not to interfere with the sun-roof. Thule and Yakima also make them. Just measure the distance between your rails. Good luck. Hope this helped. If you have the metal, C-channel installed, that's all you should need.

I only have front to back rails. The bag sits in the middle on a non skid pad. The straps thread through places on the bag kind of criss cross. Then they wrap around the rails and hook together. I also bought extra straps since I didn't have cross bars. No problems at all.

if you are using on Hyundai Santa Fe, you will have to run the rack backwards. The cross racks will not move far enough forward to allow you to run with the front wheel toward the front of the car. A better choice of racks would be the Yakima front loader. You would still have run the rack backwards. I have had both racks and think the front loader is a better choice. Check Yakima's web site, they have come out with rail fittings to allow a cross bar further forward on the car. This would cost more, if you just have to have the front of the bike toward the front of the car.

This comes with 2 step bars. One for the driver's side and one passenger side. I definitely recommend buying the stainless steel over chrome, as they won't rust. Great product!

i put it on a 2014 Odyessy with a rack, but it was too short to set on both front and back cross racks so it would have worked just as well with just the side rails. What do you have to fasten it to?

Yes, it comes with four universal brackets. They should fit most cross bars.

I have side rails only (front to back) without cross bars and it worked perfectly without the cross bars.Just make sure you attach the straps to the posts that connect the side rails to the car so the straps and bag don't slide. It didn't budge an inch on my Pilot all the way from Ohio to Florida and back.

Two cross bars, yes. But I don't know the manufacturer. I thought it was from VW. It's easy to put on, fits perfectly, and I recommend it.

I attached to a Santa Fe Sport. Drop the spare tire and you will see the bolt holes. It is the same hitch that the Dealer will charge you 500+ to put in. Start to finish was about 1hr.

If it is the right one for your car it should have every thing you need. The brackets go into the roof rails with included bolts and the brackets are attached to the cross bars. At least that was the case with mine. It said no directions included, but they were.

It depends on whether you have adjustable cross bars or not. This box have four holes in the front and four holes in the back( not sure how far are they, Amazon listing should provide those details). IF your car cross bars can be adjusted to that position, it is just tightening the U rings. If the rings are small for your cross bars, You can get bigger ones from hardware store. they should not cost much.
