I do have a roof rack solution for you, but it will not be an Inno roof rack. Inno does not make a roof rack to fit your 2002 Honda Civic SI hatchback. I do have a roof rack to fit your vehicle, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long, part # 298-SX6000B. This roof rack has a maximum weight limit of 150 lb, so carrying a kayak should not be an issue. In addition, you will have no problems removing this rack from your vehicle when it is not in use.

If you need a kayak carrier, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount, part # e98878. This kayak carrier carries the boat on its side, so it takes up less space on the roof of your vehicle. It comes with bow and stern tie-downs and 2 cam buckles to secure your kayak to the rack and your vehicle.

I have included product description links and video review links below.
