No worries; we can help get your Corolla set up for transporting your two kayaks.
I recommend an aluminum roof rack for both freedom from rust and light weight. The 12-lb Rhino-Rack Vortex Rack made of parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK152 gives you both of these features as well as a lower cost than most others.
The Vortex bars are 46-inches and will provide plenty of space for two J-style carriers like # E98878. These side-loading folding carriers feature padded bases to cushion your 12Ts and they include the necessary tie-downs and anchor straps. Nothing more to buy. Videos for the roof rack and kayak carriers are linked for you.
The Ascend 12T Sit-on-Top Kayak weighs approximately 77-lbs so two of them will probably be close to the Corolla's maximum roof weight capacity. You can check your manual to confirm.
