Question:

My 2023 Kia Carnival EX does not have any railings on it. Is there anything that I can buy that can let me put a truly on top of my car?

Since your 2023 Kia Carnival EX has a naked roof I recommend going with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars roof rack:

- 48" Crossbars # 298-SX6000B
- 60" Crossbars # SEA99FR

This system uses powerful vacuum cups to secure to the roof of your vehicle and provides you with round crossbars to install various accessories to. I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting to install on your vehicle so just make sure it is compatible with round crossbars and doesn't have any restrictions on how the roof rack is installed to the vehicle.
