To add a Yakima roof rack to your wife's 2023 Kia Seltos raised roof rails you will want the following parts:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425

SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y64AR

SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine Roof Rack Towers item # Y56AR

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to prevent theft. Since you're a fan of Yakima's products you can also buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have the roof rack and your accessories all controlled by the same key.

For a compatible kayak carrier, I recommend the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs item # Y04084.
