We have just what you need for your 2018 Toyota Corolla! I recommend checking out the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 with the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR, & the BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack # Y06130 & # Y06170.

These crossbars will easily attach to your Corolla's naked roof, has a 165-lbs weight capacity, and will allow you to use a set of J-Style kayak carriers like the Thule Compass Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000.

Since you're interested in a kayak carrier, I recommend checking this one out as it's got a pretty good weight capacity at 130-lbs, can carry two kayaks, and is made in the USA.
