Expert Reply:
As you mentioned, you'd first need to install a roof rack. For the Thule WingBar Evo rack you need the following parts:
WingBar crossbars # TH711400 in silver or # TH711420 in black
Evo Clamp Feet, # TH710501
Fit Kit, part # TH145190
For a carrier, it sounds like you were wanting something pretty basic, is that correct? Thule offers a basic saddle type carrier, the Top Deck, part # TH881. The carrier includes bow and stern tie downs.
For something a bit simpler, you could go with the Malone Deluxe Foam Block Kayak carrier, part # MPG152. This carrier also includes tie-downs. You can see how these carriers work by viewing the videos I've linked for you.
