Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Kia Sedona I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 and the Rhino-Rack SRB Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX023. This will give you your roof rack system compatible with your factory flush mount rails.
Then for your kayaks I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # S512 with expansion # RRS512X. This will give you the ability to haul 2 kayaks and carry the paddle. This carrier will also fold down to give you less noise when not carrying kayaks and also allow you to have better clearances for garage doors for example.
If you want separate carriers I recommend the etrailer.com J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding # E98878 which will have the same features but also offers the bow and stern tie-down anchors.
If you want paddle holders I recommend the Malone Paddle Carrier for Roof Rack Crossbars # MPG121.
