Sorry if this is OT (not technically "maintenance") but all the web car forums are a dead loss IME.
Does anyone have the Hyundai roof bars with a newish vehicle (say last few years)? And are they any good? In particular, are they quiet of left on?
I'm getting a new Hyundai next Jan and am tossing up between Whispbars, Thule aero style and the Hyundai dealer bars.
Pros and cons on paper:
1) I measured the Hyundai bars on a Tucson against the power sunroof and there's 20mm clearance which should be OK with most carrier brackets plus it's a T-slot.2) The Hyundai ones are rated to full roof load of 100kg. The Thule aero and Whispbars are only good to 75kg IIRC.
The Hyundai ones look *aero*, but without testing for real, no idea if they'd be noisy or not...
Cheers, Tim
