Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum. Two weeks ago I bought an Elantra Touring SE that came with factory installed rails. I use the car frequently for transporting two 18 foot sea kayaks, each weighs over 50 lbs, and I drive far and fast with them. I need to figure out whether adding Thule feet and crossbars (specifically Thule 45050 Crossroad Roof Rack System) to the rails will stress the factory installed roof system. Any opinions? Does anyone know many bolts hold the individual rails fore and aft to the roof?
Thanks very much for any advice.
Lyn
