I know that roof racks have been discussed before, plenty of times. Whether for bikes or cargo.
But has anybody used a roof rack system to transport two kayaks, or even one on a Civic Si Sedan without doing damage?
I’m going to be using my kayaks more frequently come time for my vacation and now that I don’t have access to a vehicle to transport them (late fathers truck is selling), has anybody done this successfully on a Civic without denting their pillars/roof? Or would I be biting off more than I can chew? I know the car paint sucks on the civics and Hondas in general and I know the metal is thinner than a piece of paper it seems. But trying to see what my options are. I don’t want to get an SUV or truck yet as I’m not really prepared for that since I love my car too much, lol.
The kayaks are about 50-60 lbs each I’d say. Im not sure what the rating is for the roof so any input on that is appreciated as well.
