Thats what Im using right now and it is a pain to put on and take off, mainly just the positioning of the foam blocks. The blocks also don't sit under my kayak right and my kayak sometimes comes off the blocks.

Anybody use something similar to this?

My 10' kayak fits in my mini van, and I'm still able to close the taillgate.

I accidentally broke my front windshield when I had to pick it up one time and didn't have my blocks and straps...

Mine is 10'6"

I use the inno kayak carrier on my car with an inno roof rack. Works great and I've had 2 kayaks up there with no problems.

Built my own roof rack. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. Put foam blocks on it for my Native Ultimate 12. Strap it down with two cross straps and all's good.

I know a few people that do this:

They will use two straps, one for the front and one for the back of the roof, slice two pool noodles and cover the strap so the kayak can sit on it. then they use 2 more straps on the front and back to tie it to the car.

works well, and is stable, and really cheap.

Is it an Astro?

I have a 2005 Astro panel van I haul mine in. I fish a lake that has about a 5 mile stretch of gravel getting to it so it's NICE to keep it and everything else inside out of the dust!. I am about to put a receiver hitch on it so I can tow my boat and keep my truck clean.

No, it's a Chrysler T & C.

I just drive my kayak to the river. With the drought here in Missouri, you have to think of a way to go down the river with out dragging.
