For a roof rack I recommend the Thule Wing Bar Evo 135 Aluminum Cross Bars - 53" Long # TH711400 with Feet # TH710501. For the GT you will also need Fit Kit # TH145112, and for the sedan you will need Fit Kit # TH145069.

For a bike rack you can use Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004. You can add two of these bike racks in order to haul both bikes on the roof. This bike rack will simply clamp onto the Thule Wing Bar Evo crossbars and has a weight capacity of 44lbs.

Another option is to install a cargo basket that has built-in bike mounts such as the Rhino Rack XTray Pro Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier with Thru Axle Bike Carriers - 58-1/4" Long x 41" Wide # RRRMCB03. I highly recommend going this route because you can put various items and cargo in the basket rack whenever the bikes are not being transported. It can mount 1 or 2 bikes by the forks; keep in mind the front wheel must be removed on the bikes. The weight capacity is 165lbs. Make sure to never exceed the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof. I have attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
