While there are not vehicle-specific kayak carriers that are custom-made for vehicles, we do have plenty of kayak carriers that can be added to the roof of your 2020 Honda Civic via a roof rack setup. If you do not have a roof rack yet then I recommend looking into Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2. This has the highest weight capacity available, rated at 165lbs. To install this onto your roof you will need Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK453. This crossbar setup has a built-in top channel that allows many accessories to be easily installed.

For a 2-kayak carrier, I recommend going with Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073. You can mount 1 kayak in the vertical position or 2 kayaks in the flat position. This kayak carrier clamps onto the Rhino-Rack crossbars mentioned above.

If you are wanting to transport 3 or 4 kayaks then you will want to use Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 4 Kayaks # RRS520. It can be installed by clamping onto the crossbars or by utilizing the top channel track on the crossbars. This kayak carrier is setup to haul 2 kayaks so if you want to add 2 additional kayaks you will need Rhino-Rack Cam-Buckle Cinch Strap and Anchor Kit # RRRBAS-RTD55P-RTD45P.
