Hi all,

Anyone had any luck finding a roof rack with cross bars that fits the GV70? We are a family of skiers and boarders and want to put a box on the roof but seems like what should be simple is next to impossible. Genesis doesn’t carry any roof racks yet nor does Thule have the fit. They say it will eventually come but we can’t wait forever. I even bought a universal and it didn’t fit well either.

Hoping someone here has had some success. My uncle thinks we can modify the Thule version off the GV80
Thanks!

Looking for same but not urgently, CSM is supposed to get back to me about roof racks and winter rims/tires options.

Thule ones for the GV80 fit, I just got the shorter wingbar.

Thanks, thats what I was thinking to do. Do you think a box would fit no problem? I’m new roof racks and I’m realizing that it’s not all that universal
 
I got the XL box but I also got a family of four snowboarders so I need the space :) You can always go smaller.

Thanks- did you buy from ebay and are you satisfied with its quality?
Have a set for a Telluride not the GV70. Good value for the money, not Thule quality but they are fine as a base. Im using them for skis/boards
 
I actually ordered the Thule kit designed for the GV80 with shorter bars. The company/retailer called me to say if there were any fit issues, I would not be able to return it since it was not "fit tested" for the GV70. I then reached out to Thule to ask them if the 6077 kit would be acceptable for the GV80 and they said about the same thing. They are working on a GV70 kit. (even have a kit number 6116) but no timeline. So frustrating for those of us who need it now. I will admit I am not the biggest risk taker, so when the retailer told me of horror stories with people putting the wrong kit on a car and then things flying off at 80 MPH, their fear tactics worked for me and I cancelled the order. My honest opinion is that the GV80 kit probaly wil not fly off, but wanted to share this information with the group.
 
Also interested to hear if others used the GV80 Thule wing bar, size and is the fit solid/stable?
Sorry for super late reply, I'm using my Thule system with Thule 127cm (50") Wingbar Evos. I didn't like how it protruded so I actually tried the 108cm (43") bars but I will confirm it fits the front but will not fit on the rears; 108s are not wide enough.

@forverly I had the same reservation, I spoke with Thule a few times and got the same response. Currently, it fits really nice, super snug, no give. The rubber footing does not set perfectly but the critical clamp contacts are solid. I'm going to stay under 80mph, as you should with any roof system.
 
I just ordered from Ebay: 2 PCS, Turtle Black Air V2 Roof Rail Racks Cross Bars for New Genesis GV70. Looks well designed. There are some installation videos for other vehicles on youtube. Will post a review after they arrive.

I will be interested to hear your review. I had my fisrt ski day last week and look forward to being able to put skiis in a carrier and not the back. I saw these Turtle brand. I have never heard of them, but they look good.

Definitely interested to hear your review well. Just bought my GV70 yesterday - need a roof rack ASAP, so bit the bullet on this one. I'll also report back on my experience.

The racks arrived quickly after placing the eBay order. Packaging was very good. Installation was straightforward. The quality of materials and design is very, very good. Attachment is solid and secure as is the rack itself. I'm very pleased with the product and give it my recommendation without any reservations.

I had seen the ebay listing as well but was hesitant to order from there and wanted a quicker delivery and ability to return if not good quality. I had noted that the ebay listing said at the top in spanish that the item was compatible with Hyandai SantaFe (which made sense given GV70 is i guess same size as santa fe). So I proceeded to amazon and ordered the below cross bars and mounted my thule snowpack 6. Drove 600 miles for a ski trip and it worked out satisfactorily.

Similarly, I didn't know how long the ebay delivery would take so I also ordered those same racks from Amazon prime which I returned. Although satisfactorily functional, I didn't like the quality - fit and finish. That same generic rack is sold under several different names on Amazon such as: NOTUDE, Snailfly, MotorFansClub, WANCAR, Erisam, etc.

I see. Can you explain a bit further what didn’t you like or how the eBay one are superior. I may switch as well. Do you think Amazon one will not hold up?

Any close up pics you can share of eBay ones?

Thanks
