Expert Reply:
For a solution that doesn't require a permanent roof rack, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars allow you to attach crossbars to the top of the vehicle using vacuum cups that are installed and removed with ease.
As for the dual kayak carrier, I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # S512-S512X. The Rhino-Rack 2 Carrier will allow you transport your kayaks on the round bars of the Monkey Bars. It also comes with 4 securing straps to attach the kayaks to the Monkey Bars as well as bow and stern straps. This setup will allow you to efficiently transport your 2 lightweight kayaks on your 2020 Acura MDX.
