Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2013 Lexus ES 350
Question:
Hi, I need a roof rack for a Lexus es350 2013. No existing rails or cross bars. Also, the Lexus has a sun roof. We need it to carry a 13 feet kayak that weights 80 lbs, thanks.

The Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711420, and part # TH710501, and part # TH145149 is what I recommend for a 2013 Lexus ES 350 as it's the quietest roof rack on the market. There won't be any fit issues with the sunroof either.
In order to secure a kayak, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878 is a great all inclusive option which because it saves space will allow you to add another kayak down the road if needed or even a bike rack.
