Expert Reply:

I'd recommend a Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack, which would consist of the following parts:

• Rhino-Rack 54 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars in black as part # RRVA137B-2 or silver as part # RRVA137S-2
• Rhino-Rack roof rack feet, part # RRRLKVA
• Vehicle Specific fit kit, part # DK227

For a kayak carrier, I'd recommend the Rhino-Rack kayak carrier, part # S512. The # RRS512X expansion kit would allow you to carry a second kayak. For the third kayak, you'll need an additional # S512. The carrier and expansion kit included tie down straps to attach the kayaks to the carrier as well as bow/stern tie-downs.

I've linked to some product videos that you might find helpful.
