Expert Reply:
Since you have a naked roof on your MDX you will first need a roof rack. I recommend the Yakima Jetstream roof rack. To order this roof rack you will need part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, part # Y06150, and part # Y06151.
The kayak carrier I recommend is the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073. This is a side-loading carrier that can be folded down when you aren't carrying your kayak. This carrier comes with tie-down straps and bow and stern tie-downs. The carrier has built-in ramps that make loading and unloading the kayak easier.
