This roof rack cost me about $280 USD. Gives it a nice utilitarian look. Onto the new hitch coming this week.

I actually really like the look of the roof rack on the SC. If I had any need for one myself, I'd add one. Looks sharp!

Are you going to get the hitch with OEM or Aftermarket harness, just curious if there is actually a difference besides price.
Etrailer will have the Curt Hitch available on line in a matter of days according to them. Save a ton of money over the overpriced OEM...

Agreed. The stock one from Hyundai was way too overpriced.

I purchased the aftermarket harness, which came as a Curt. Still a name brand.

Much wiser, and more patient, decision than my buying the OEM part. Oh well.
Thank you for the tip! Looks like it will come in 10/15/2021
Likely drop shipped directly from Curt (they have them in stock), so I expect sooner rather than later
I think I’m going to wait for the OEM hitch, only due to the reason that my past Curt hitch for a different vehicle began rusting out after just a couple years.
The Curt harness is just fine. The hitch itself began rusting within 2 years after installing. Definitely an eyesore for the vehicle.

Hyundai doesn't carry the 7way; you need to get it from Kia; the Telluride 7 way is plug and play. Also includes trailer brake harness. If you want this one order from online as it is much more affordable.

I just bought a roof rack that looks almost identical to that one for $99 from Harbor Freight. I'm ordering a can of rubberized bed liner spray ($12 Amazon) to rust-proof it. I'll post pictures when I'm done.
I'm looking at that exact roof rack on Amazon, how is it, pretty sturdy and the clamping system is solid? I got one like that for my wife's Santa Fe and it's surprisingly solid. I looked at Yakima which I have now but of course it won't fit on the SC and I really don't want to blow another $800 for another one or even a Thule.
Mine just came and I love the aftermarket ones, they are strong and sturdy for the price compared to the dealer ones which of course is way overpriced. I got them for my wife's Santa Fe and decided to cancel my Yakima order for the same aftermarket ones because they are solid racks. I like they are raised a bit higher which gives lots of clearance for both vehicle roof racks especially the Santa Fe one because it's a panoramic sunroof. I guess time will tell as to how these perform, yes, it does add a little wind noise but all roof racks do, my old Yakima was loud as well, no way around this.
