Replying to: worldrevolver (Jan 11, 2009 6:35 pm) No update, and I totally agree with what you said. Have you ever tried to pull off the molding on top and see if there are screws or screwholes underneath to mount one?

Nope, but I well try that. It would be great if there is a mounting point hiding under the molding.

If you don't need rooftop storage often, I'd recommend soft carriers, which can be folded away and wouldn't cause any problem with low clearance garages. Some can be mounted with Car Clip Strap Set for Vehicles w/o Roof Racks found here-- http://www.lakelandgear.com/car-top-carrier-bag-cargo-roof-luggage-rack.aspx (no association)   You'd also get a bit help with MPG without the roof rails.

Replying to: tony0701 (Apr 26, 2008 4:10 pm) Any updates on this? I just bought a 2008 GLS, and I'm tempted to just buy the roof rails online for 80 bucks and take them to a body shop to see if they can install them. Anyone tried this?

Replying to: aksn (May 05, 2009 6:00 am) The roof rails you mention are most likely NOT the side rails, instead they are the CROSS rails. You should be able to purchase the side rails from a cooperative dealer's parts and/or body shop, but I'm sure they would be outrageously expensive. I think I would look at a Thule or Yakima roof rack system as a more reasonable and rugged alternative.

Replying to: bigjimd2804 (May 05, 2009 11:41 am) I'm no car expert, but these look like ROOF rails to me.   http://www.thepartsbin.com/sitemap/hyundai~roof_rails~parts.html Replies to this message: bluesile (Aug 27, 2009 11:00 am) busmaster44 (Aug 27, 2009 12:39 pm)

Replying to: bluesile (Aug 27, 2009 11:00 am) Thanks for the suggestion... It required drilling so I think I'm going to wait for the pros to do it. Thanks!
