Thanks for the additional information! I have a solution for you but the Kodiak K3 crossbars you have are obsolete and incompatible with current roof rack systems. I did some looking online and I wasn't able to find any replacement parts or information about whether or not the company had been bought out. You're going to need to replace your crossbars and upgrade to a newer system on your 2018 Ford Edge. The good news is most kayak carriers are compatible with all aero bars on the market. The Roof Rack by Rhino Rack is the most comparable option we have. It includes:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - 54" Long item # RRVA137B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points item # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs item # DK432
I have attached an installation video below.
