IIRC the Haynes manual specifies a max roof load of 100 kg. Assuming that's conservative you'd probably be OK, particularly if you use a rack with more than 4 mounting points to spread the load out.
(A while ago I was half-seriously considering mounting bars to the gutters to hang a hammock alongside the car. I decided that because the weight was off the side, the moment was a bit high for the thin guttering. Probably would have been OK, I just didn't get round to it.)
