For a rack that works with your 2017 Hyundai Sonata with a panoramic roof, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B to transport your kayak. The Monkey Bars can mount anywhere on your roof, and it has the easiest installation of all our roof racks. The design of the Money Bars uses high pressure vacuum cups that will give you the carrying capacity you need without scratching the surface of your panoramic roof. Unfortunately, you will not be able to use your panoramic sunroof while the Monkey Bars are mounted.

As far as the kayak carrier for your rack, I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 to transport your kayak. The Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier will attach to the round bars on the Monkey Bars. The J-Style Carrier comes with 2 tie down straps that fasten to the Monkey Bars as well as 2 additional straps that tie down to the bow and stern of the kayak. The weight capacity of the J-Style Carrier is 99 pounds.
