I'll move this over to the RB forum in case another member with this car knows the answer. I will leave a link in this forum.

 

I too will be looking for a roof rack which I plan on using for the bikes. I would like to be able to easily take it off for the MPG saving when not toting around the bikes.

 

I wonder if the roof racks from a elantra touring would fit.

 

Also looking for information as I'd like to mount my Thule cargo bars for bike racks and cargo box. So far my dealer hasn't received any information, and nothing is listed on Thule's site.

I've wondered this as well. Why would Hyundai even HAVE the mounting points if they're not going to offer an optional roof rack? I wonder if the option is available in Asia/Europe?

 

I found this:

I don't know if it utilizes the mounting points; it's not clear from the description.

Ah ha! Thank you. Plugging in the part number at the Rola website comes up with:

The instructions are not clearly written or illustrated. Its hard to tell if the rack does use the mounting points.

Regardless, that may a nice looking rack. It would be nice to see how it looks on an Accent.

 

The Rola product does not screw into the integrated holes, but uses clips to lock
the system down. I'll try to find out the dimensions on the screw holes and will
post later.
Cheers,

I loathe to dig up an old thread, but has anyone had any luck with the mounting points?

I realized that now that I have a hatchback, I'm not sure my old trunk mount will work for my bikes any longer and I'd love a roof rack instead of them hanging off the back.

 

Hyundai Auto Canada. Build & Price

Check the roof rack section. Hyundai does offer the roof rack and related accessories, at least in Canada.

 

I'd love to be able to use my existing roof rack (Yakima rails, fairing, twin steelhead racks with locks. Q-towers, full set of locks), since I spent so much on it. I looked on Yakima's site and they have the car listed with an available system, but I can't tell if it utilizes the existing mounting points.

It looks as if maybe the "landing pads" do, and then the control towers (which are a different model than my Q-towers) attach to that. If so, then a set of 4 control towers is $165 & 4 landing pads are another $140, so $300+ just to use my existing equipment. If you're starting from scratch, then you're looking at another $250'ish for crossbars and, if you want them, locks & fairing. Then you'll need rails, depending on what you're going to be carrying. For a 2 bike system, like mine, total costs will approach $750... (so you can see why I'd like to reuse whatever I possibly can)

 

How do your Q-towers mount? If they mount with a single bolt and have rubber pads, they might be mountable, though you may have to go to the hardware store and get some bolts the right length. If they mount to tracks, nope, no way. Not unless you somehow create a landing-pad-to-Q-tower adaptor of some sort -- I could do it, with a bit of fabrication work in my shop with some channel iron and rubber gasket material, but if you're asking this question clearly you don't have a shop or know how to fabricate things. And personally I'd just buy the correct system, because I'm already backed up fabricating things for my Jeep, and it's annoying to fabricate things (not to mention that making them look professional rather than hand-built is difficult because, duh, they *are* hand-built).

 

Building on Ceezer's post, Yakima does have a rack system that works with the mounting points.

 

I went the way of a Yakima roof rack. If you use landing pad 11 with the control tower system, it will work. I just installed mine last night. I'll let you know how my rack works out in a few days/weeks.

 

I bought control tower 11 and the bolts were the wrong size. Did you buy separate bolts?

Has anyone else had difficulty installing the Yakima racks?

Thanks.

 

Hey Ironman,

Can you post pics of the Yakima setup?

Thanks

 

I went to the dealer yesterday, and I found out about the roof rack. They are available at the dealership at 299 CAD plus tax. I don't know if it is the same as the older model, but it is available.

 

My landing pad 11 came with two different sets on bolts... one set will work!

 

Has anyone installed the Yakima landing pads in the mounting points? Care to share pics?

 

Installed the Yakima Landing Pad 11 with the M6 bolt, very easy. I leave the landing pads in place and just clip in the rest of the rack (control towers and 48 in bars) when needed.

 

Cool. Can you share some pics when you get a chance?

 

Yes pictures please.

 

Massive case of blue balls in this thread. Pic teases like crazy up in here.

Looks good! Thanks.

 

Resurrecting the ancient thread, I recently installed the Rola bars on the top of my hatchback.

They make a heck of a racket up there, but I love how it makes the car look that much better.

 

Bringing life into this dead thread, installed the Rola bars to the top of the hatchback:

I love how it changes the look of the car. Makes it look tougher, more sporty!

 

I have 25 year old Thule racks that are still good, and have seen duty on everything from my 87 Accord to my last car, the 2002 Rio, by just changing the door mounts. But I don't want to mark up the new Accent with door mounts, especially when there are those integral mounts in the roof. They are the Thule square bars, not the aero ones. Is there an option for these anywhere in Accent-land?
