That's only 70% over rated. As long as you don't hit any bumps that subject the load to more than about 1g I wouldn't be too concerned.

The roof rack is rated for 100kg IIRC. I'm quite sure they test to to deal with hitting a pot hole and subjecting to 2-3g so 200-300kg.

If you drive like a rental and have 400#. Dying be surprised when you arrive with a dented roof. However clearly double the rated and cautious will not be a problem.

I was looking for a photo of when I had about 8-10 16' wet 2x6 on my roof. Don't want to even know what that weighed but it did flex my cross bar to touch my sunroof a couple times in the 1.5 mile trip.
