Since Thule changed their square bars and roof rack feet there isn't a way to use your older style of Thule square bar on your 2019 Hyundai Kona. Your best option would be an all new roof rack like the Rhino Rack part # RR23QJ which attaches directly to your flush bars and gives you an aero bar rack that will be very quiet.
