OEM Hyundai Roof Racks

Can the Wrong Roof Rack Setup Ruin Your Car?

Roof racks are useful for hauling bikes, cargo boxes, and sporting gear—but the wrong setup can lead to scratched paint, poor fuel efficiency, and even roof damage. It's crucial to choose a roof rack designed for your model to ensure safety, performance, and proper weight distribution. If you drive a Hyundai Santa Fe, following these tips will help you get started.

Expert Tips in Choosing a Roof Rack for Your Hyundai

1. Always Use a Hyundai-Specific Rack System

Universal racks may not sit properly on your roof rails—go with options made to match your Santa Fe’s dimensions and weight limits.

2. Check the Weight Rating Before Loading

Overloading a roof rack can dent the roof or affect stability, so always stay within the manufacturer’s listed weight capacity.

3. Choose Aerodynamic Designs for Less Drag

Low-profile, wind-tunnel-tested crossbars help minimize noise and reduce the impact on your gas mileage.

4. Inspect the Mounting Points Regularly

Loose or corroded hardware can lead to detachment while driving—routine checks are key to long-term safety.
