Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota Corolla S  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

The first thing you are going to need to put a kayak rack on your 2007 Toyota Corolla S would be a roof rack.

For a complete Yakima Roof Rack you are going to want the following parts.
Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
BaseLine Towers # Y28TR
BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06136
BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06148

Once you have the roof rack installed you would be ready to install the Yakima HandRoll Roof Rack Kayak Carrier # Y04082. In order to carry one kayak you will need to order a quantity of 2 of these. You should note that the Yakima roof rack I recommended has a recommended capacity of 125 lbs and you will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine what the roof capacity is and be sure not to exceed the lower of these two figures.

For carrying 2 kayaks I would recommend a carrier that allows the kayak to be carried on edge so that 2 kayaks could fit on the roof rack easier. Check out the Yakima BowDown # Y04042, if you have the capacity on your roof for your 2 kayaks this should work well for you.
