It would probably be less expensive for you if you went with the yakima naked roof system - I am assuming you are talking about installing a set of flush rails and building from there. Apologies if I am mistaken.

Just got a rack on and planning on adding a roof box/skibox before summer. (I'm assuming this year will be another car trip type of summer) Does anyone know what max length for a box on Kona is? I mean the roof is pretty short, so I want to maximize the size of the box, but can't find anywhere what the max recommended length is.

Did you get any answers? There was a previous roof basket post with a picture example. In that case, the roof basket was 47 1/4" (120cm for everyone else).
Roof racks and rooftop cargo container
I have the cross rails and cago container on order fro hyundai. The cross rails seem expensive but the cargo container seems to be a good price. What are other people buying and using?

I asked some guys who sell skiboxes and they recommended a skibox called Skiguard 830 T, and that one is 214cm long. I feel like that might poke out over the windshield so much it'll probably interfere with the sensors for windshield wipers and lights. But I don't know.Did you get any answers?

214cm seems long for a Kona. Great for skis but I'd be worried about the rear hatch opening. Let us know what you do!

Anyone transporting 2 bicycles without a hitch?
Looking for options for carrying two bicycles without a hitch mount (roof or trunk mount is fine). Anyone accomplish this? Any photos and/or ideas? Thanks!

The thule frontier is 225 cm. I had trouble finding reliable options that were narrow enough and between 225 and ~190 cm (my xc ski length). I had to add a set of holes so the bar location is technically out of spec but the spacing is still OK (https://images.carid.com/thule/info/pdf/box-mount-dimensions.pdf) and it's seemed rock solid on multiple long drives and a few semi-rugged trips.
eta: Definitely overhangs the windshield but no interference with vision or (as far as i can tell) sensors.

Further update; replaced the plastic-clamp Aguri bars with steel-clamp Atera (Amazon.com: ATERA Aterapool 048522 Premium Base Support: Automotive). Very happy so far, and also fits our OEM Mazda CX-5 rails well. Surprisingly quiet and don't require the rubber infill strips for the T-track.
. . .hey . . . how are the cross bars holding up? - happy with them?
