just checked the UK technical specs, they state max roof load 0KG


so at this point Hyundai is saying it is not suitable for roof racks in the UK, it will be interesting to see if the Hyundai Norway roof rack (once approved) will be available in other countries

Hi.

The A Pillar and B Pillar and C Pillar is re-enforced If the vehicle was to turn over this would ensure the occupants would be protected. However. The area in the centre of the roof is very flexible.(It's Weight Saving hence no Pan Roof as with other models due to Weight. Basically as an owner you could place a roof rack on this area. However. It is very likely that the weight would imprint on the roof and leave damage.
It would effect the aero dynamics and increase wind noise dramatically. But the main reason is it will damage the centre of your roof!.

so what you are saying is roof bars that has fittings similar to the image attached "should" be ok as they are putting the weight on the stronger structural parts of the car, but anything that is on the centre section of the roof (between the two black rubber strips) risks damage to the roof?

but as ever due to no official roof rack all at owners risk

Here´s some other pics of Thule Rapid 754 with TH1711 adapter kit and cargobox on the roof.

does it affect radio / satnav reception?

is there much additional wind noise?
