Has anyone used or thought of using a roof top tent on their Seltos? I understand that the capacity of the stock roof rails is very low but to my understanding they weight ratings are for load weight while moving, so adding 300ish lbs for 2 people while parked shouldn't be a huge issue. My only real concern is being able to connect the roof top tent to crossbars. I don't think there are many options available besides the KIA OEM cross bars but I wont be spending $600 on those. I would much rather remove the stock roof rails and make something custom out of tube steel like I did for my 2015 Cherokee.

LOL, another Ex-Cherokee owner? nice...

As for a roof-top tent on the Seltos? I would say...not a good idea, it would buckle the roof...you'd be way better off doing something like this:
SportZ Dome SUV tent

I really don't like those things lol. I do however like to push the limits of things a bit so I might do it anyways lol. I think it all really depends on the mounting locations of the stock roof rails and how much I can spread out the weight of a custom set.

Your name does look familiar. We're you on the jeep Cherokee club? You had a mango TH right?

That photo must be shopped lol. I was AGP. I left in late 2016 after I traded my Cherokee for a 16' wrangler, sounds like I missed out on some entertainment.
