I have a Yakima rack. I've bought a number of solutions (and returned them) and the BEST setup I've found is simply strapping the kayak down on formed foam blocks set on the rack. I think they have them at REI. You can also order them from the Chesapeake Light Craft site. best of all, this set up works on any car. I even used them on a car with NO rack (it's not as secure but I did go 400 miles with no problem). I bought the hully rollers and the Mako saddles. The kayak "bounced" around too much. I found the foam pads keep it really secure. I've driven from NYC to DC. DC to NC. And NYC to NC.
