2 Kayak Carrier for 2006 Hyundai Tuscon with OEM Crossbars

Question:

Im looking at 2006-2010 Hyundai Tuscons. The ones Im finding come with a roof rack, but the side rails dont run the length of the roof. I cant tell if I can replace them easily or if I need to. Also Im questioning if the roof is wide enough to carry two kayaks. We have an 08 Pilot previously and using J bars the kayaks top werent all that far apart, IMHO. These are pretty basic Dicks sporting goods sit on kayaks 40lbs each. Anyone have any insight they can share? Not finding a lot of comments on the Internet, which may be a good OR bad thing.

I did some checking and the factory crossbars of a 2006 Hyundai Tucson and it can carry kayak carriers like the Rhino Rack 2-Kayak Carrier part # S512-S512X that you referenced so this would be a great solution to carry 2 kayaks. Due to it's design it can carry two kayaks without taking up too much crossbar width.
