How to Carry 2 Kayaks on Roof of 2007 Toyota Prius
Question:
Hello, I want to get a temporary transportation system that doesnt require bolted bars to transport at minimum 1 kayak and maximum 2 kayaks on the roof of a 2007 Toyota Prius Touring. Will this work for my car for kayaks?

The Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier # INA744 is designed for boards so since you're needing to carry kayaks on your 2007 Toyota Prius we need to find you a different solution. There are some kayak carriers that can be installed on a naked roof but they just use foam blocks and we don't really recommend going that route unless you don't plan on transporting the kayak very far or very often.
What I recommend doing is installing the Inno square bar roof rack (see parts list below) and using a carrier like the Malone FoldAway-5 # MAL38FR to transport your kayak(s). The Inno uses clamps to install on your Prius so there aren't any bolts you'll be putting into your vehicle and the FoldAway-5 lets you carry 1 kayak and then use the add-on cradles to carry a 2nd kayak.
Here are the parts you need for the roof rack:
50" Square Crossbars - # INB127
Feet - # INSUT
Fit Kit - # INK705
