Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2012 Honda Civic Sedan
Question:
What would be the best way to be able to carry 2 kayaks on 2012 Honda Civic Sedan? Thanks. There is currently no roof rack

Expert Reply:
For your 2012 Honda Civic Sedan you would need to first start with a roof rack for a kayak carrier to attach to. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks like the part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK319 which when used together complete a custom roof rack for your vehicle. This rack is a high quality rack like the more expensive ones but not quite as expensive.
Then for carrying two kayaks the Thule Stacker part # TH830 would work well as it can carry up to 4 kayaks. I attached a review video for this as well.
