I just got a 2024 GV70 Sport and honestly I am so scared to touch anything on it because it looks so nice but I really need to get my kayak to the lake by next month. I noticed these flush rails on the top but I have no clue if I can just buy any rack from a store or if Genesis makes special ones that wont scratch the car. I looked at Thule but there are like a million parts and I got overwhelmed immediately... sorry if this is a super basic thing to ask.
Is there a specific kit that fits the Sport trim perfectly without being a total nightmare to install? My budget is about $450-500 tops since the car already cost a fortune lol.

tl;dr: Stick with the OEM bars to stay under budget and guarantee a fit. I was in the same boat last year. Honestly, I am very satisfied with the Genesis GV70 OEM Roof Rack Cross Bars. They work well with the flush rails and I have had no complaints about the finish scratching as long as you keep the area clean before mounting. Thule is great but by the time you buy the bars and the fit kit, youre gonna be way over your $500 limit. If you want a slightly different look, the Rhino-Rack Vortex ROC25 Flush Roof Rack is another solid direct fit that wont kill your wallet. I use the factory bars for my kayak all the time and they are super sturdy. Its way less of a headache than trying to piece together a Thule kit. Just take it slow during the first install and youll be fine.

Quick reply while I have a sec. In my experience, universal clamp racks are a disaster for flush rails. Theyll scratch your finish. Only use systems with a model-specific fit kit.
