Which Roof Rack Will Allow Me To Mount 2 Yakima JayLow Kayak Carriers On My 2016 Honda Fit?

You can mount 2 sets of the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks # Y04073 on a 46" roof rack, but it will be somewhat of a tight fit. The overall distance from one end of the JayLow to the other end is about 19", so you may have a little bit of the JayLow hanging over the crossbar legs which is fine. Most crossbars, aside from flush crossbars, have a spot (where the towers/legs are at) that you cannot clamp an accessory, but you will be able to mount two of these kayak carriers without any issues.

For a 46" crossbar setup that fits your 2016 Honda Fit, you will want to go with Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 along with Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK438. This setup has a weight capacity of 165lbs. There is a built-in track on top of the crossbars which will allow you to easily mount various accessories. I have attached demonstration videos for the Yakima JayLow and the Rhino-Rack Crossbar setup.
