To build a roof rack, you'll need to follow our fit guide to ensure that you are getting the right kit to mount the crossbars.
I've included a link to the full selection for you below, but I have a recommendation for you based on size and need. All roof racks designed to fit your 2013 Toyota Camry's naked roof use a clamp style attachment. This is because the roof does not include fixed mounting points or any other way to mount a roof rack. The clamps hook into the door jamb of the Camry to hold the rack in place.
Before installing the roof rack, you'll want to verify your vehicle's roof capacity inside your owner's manual. Your entire setup, roof rack and crossbars, kayak carriers and kayaks will need to be less than the total weight capacity.
I recommend the Inno Square 50 inch kit, consisting of:
- Inno Square Crossbars, 50-inch, part # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars, part # INSUT
- Inno Fit Kit, part # INK872
