I've been trying to find a way to car top my yak on a 2 door Sentra. I'm kinda partial to the car, and don't want to tear it up too bad. I keep trying to beat down the Okie in me and put away the duct tape and safety wire.

I can put one rack over the doors, but what to do about #2. Placing both on the door yields a rack that is only 18-20" apart and shifts the boat forward a lot. So how do I mount some rain gutters on the roof that will have sufficient strength to support 1, maybe 2 kayaks on the freeway? Could I use something like liquid steel and glue them on (assuming I stripped the paint off where they would go)? I would think that the roof of the car is stronger than a camper shell, but I am loathe to drill a hole and cut the headliner to place a bolt through the roof. Assuming bow and stern are secured so the boats won't shift laterally, how much support in the middle is necessary?

Many thanks to the collective voice. Many minds are better than one.
