Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Acura MDX

The Rhino Rack # RR92QR Vortex Aero roof rack would be a great choice for your 2017 Acura MDX. Because of its streamlined design, it looks more like a factory roof rack than what you'd see with typical aftermarket roof racks.

For a 2 kayak carrier that offers tons of flexibility, I'd recommend the Thule Compass, part # TH890000 allows you to carry one or two kayaks and up to two stand up paddleboards. Tie down straps and bow/stern tie downs for 2 kayaks are included.

If you'd prefer a more typical J-style carrier, you could go with two of the etrailer brand # e98878 kayak carriers. the uprights of the carrier can be folded flat when the carrier isn't being used for easy entry and exit into a garage. This carrier also includes straps to anchor the kayak to the carrier and bow/stern tie downs. Anchor straps that can be shut in the hood and trunk/hatch are also provided.

I've linked to product demonstration videos for both carriers I recommended.
