Yakima Sweet Roll Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Loading a Double Kayak From Rear of Vehicle

Question:

I have a double fishing kayak Ultimate 15X, it fits fine on my venza, howeve I need something to assist. I am looking for something to load my kayak on to my 2013 Venza. This product looks like it would work good. I need something that will go onto my rack and assist me loading from the back. My crossbars are rectangular. Please advise

The Yakima Sweet Roll part # Y04074 that you referenced will fit square/rectangular crossbars and will allow you to load the kayak from the rear of the vehicle. If you check out the review video I attached around the 2:10 mark you can see how this carrier allows the install of a kayak from the rear of the vehicle by sliding it on.

As long as your kayak weighs less than 80 lbs (which I checked and it does) this carrier would fit and work well.
