Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes using 2 of the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks part # Y04073 is perfectly acceptable and will provide you with the attachment point you'll need for your 3 boats. There are a couple of factors to keep in mind here the first is that while the racks will attach you'll have to determine how tall each of your kayaks are and add that together plus about 4" (for the jaylow uprights) to determine if they will all fit on your crossbars. With all the different sized kayaks out there this isn't a value I can give you. The second is to ensure your roof has the capacity to handle the weight. The Jetstream systems for your Sorento are all rated to 165 lbs. total capacity that should be more than enough for your kayaks but check your owners manual to see what your roof's capacity is to determine if they advise this amount of weight.
