2008 Sante Fe roof rack modication wanted
The cross bars on the 2008 Sante Fe will only about 26 inches
apart (front to back) although the side rails extend almost the entire length of the roof. It is not very stable with long items on the roof. With golf club cases on the roof the radio attenna is shielded and reception is poor. I am looking for a modification or aftermaket product that will allow them to be futher apart. Any ideas? Jim |

Apparently the mod is to drill extra holes toward the front of the
tracks. I've seen it mentioned in the forums here http://www.hyundai-forums.com/f77-2g-2007-santa-fe.htm but haven't tried it (yet). -- Jerry 1jim@earthlink.net wrote: > The cross bars on the 2008 Sante Fe will only about 26 inches > apart (front to back) although the side rails extend almost the entire > length of the roof.

It is not pretty, but it is solid and effective, and cheap! Cheers, Indrek Aavisto -- Criticism is easy; achievement is difficult. W.S. Churchill |
