... my 10ft goes on the roof with the adition of some foam blocks and tie downs

 

Oh yeah, my brother has a $25 Walmart kayak carrier that consists of two notched foam blocks and two pull straps that go through the door sills. It seems to work pretty good.

The guys who run the local kayak shop in my town, always tell me just to use the factory roof rack and some quality cam straps. So thats what I always have used on mine. They say you can put up to 4 10 foot kayaks on top of a mid size SUV. Though I've never actually tried it. I've only gone as far as 2 boats.

 

Tie the first boat to the roof rack with the cockpit facing down. Make sure its as far over as you can push it. Then tie the other boats with the cockpits facing the first boat. Tie each boat to the next boat. It has worked for me so far.

Nissan once made one but it is discontinued and no longer available.

P/N 999R1-KL002

It also required the mounts (sold as a set of 4) to install it:

P/N 999R1-XK002

 

IIRC Yakima was the supplier for Nissan.
