Removing Santa Fe Cross Rails

Discussion in 'Hyundai Santa Fe' started by christopher.chaput, Mar 1, 2007.

  1. Hi recently bought a 2002 Santa Fe. I want to remove the cross rails
    so I can install a Thule rack system to carry bikes. However, the
    dealer didn't have the keys to the cross rails. I've heard you can
    remove them withou the key but I'm not sure how. Anyone have any
    experience with this. I would like to be able to do it myself.
    Thanks.

    There should be something in the latch that turns. I've seen them with two
    holes, and I've seen them with indented Hyundai logos. Either way, you'll
    need to turn the piece to which I'm referring in order to unlock the
    latches.

  3. Did you look for the key in the glovebox?
    Find someone else driving a Santa Fe and ask them. I have two keys and they
    are both in my glovebox (I choose not to remove them).
    Find a dealership that has one used on its lot and ask them if you can use
    the key. It only takes 2 minutes to remove that way.
