The roof rack I used isn't available on Amazon any longer but here are links to two systems that look like they may work, it may be worth the gamble...

This worked for me!!!! I added pool noodles and it was fantastic!

Glad it worked! It isn't a bad, temp solution.

the best one i have seen so far through my searching, my wife and I bought 2 kayak's today that are fishing style. thank you

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

Thanks my friend! Happy kayaking!

[@Sew_Country]

Great video! Thanks for the info!

[@fngonzo]

Cool idea. The only issue will be if you have two kayaks wider than 30", but you can overcome that with a longer pipe. I would also add a pool noodles at the point where the kayak makes contact with the pipe.

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

Great point. I actually faced that very problem near the end of summer when I bought a Jackson with a wider beam. So it was back to the home improvement store to get a longer section of pipe.
Take care!

Nice! It gave me an idea on how to secure a kayak on my car also. Thanks.

I’m a single mom who just bought two kayaks for us and had no idea where to begin putting them onto my SUV other than I needed a rack. I don’t like asking for help so being able to find this video really helps me stay independent…. Thank you!!

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

Wow, I'm so glad it was useful! I put a high value on independence too. Thanks for the great comment. Happy paddling!

[@tylerdavies3038]

We went yesterday! My son helped me throw them up there and off we went! I didn’t need any help and I was able to get ratchet straps for $22 at the auto store just 3 blocks from me. Kids played on the kayaks for almost 4 hours. Much better than just swimming and playing on the beach. Thank you a million times..

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

@@tylerdavies3038 that's awesome!

[@JOESTONEMUSIC]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I plan to use this exact setup for my 2 kayaks.

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

That's awesome, I'm glad it was helpful. This setup still serves me well and I hope it works great for you too. Happy paddling!

Great video. Can you share what the spacing from front to back is on your crossbars, and also if you used any tie down on the ends of the kayaks?

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

Good questions... I'm not sure what the spacing is between the crossbars, front to back, I'll have to measure it. But I do know I moved them out about as far as they would go.
I do use bow and stern tie downs occasionally, especially if I'm going to travel for longer distances and if I'm going to be on high speed highways.
