I purchased one of these: http://www.tieyak.com/ --- really nothing 
more than two plastic coated cable loops (same material as a bicycle 
cable lock) that are placed over the ends of the kayak, wrapped 
around the roof rack or run through the car's door openings and then 
locked together.  They seem to fit a wide range of kayaks (I've used 
them on a CD Storm and P&H Capella).  You can buy the set of cables 
(no lock included) on the above web site or on Ebay 
(http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?Command=GetResult&query=kayak+lock). 
They are $40 on the web site, or about $20 on Ebay (these prices 
include the S&H).

No affiliation -- just a satisfied customer.
