Question:
I am looking for roof racks to put two kayaks old but serviceable Necky kayaks side by side, not J-racks as they require lifting and I can manage sliding the kayaks from the back of my vehicle onto the flat racks. i have a 2022 XC60 with flush rubber rails.

For your 2022 Volvo XC60 that has flush rails you'll need a roof rack with longer crossbars to fit your two kayaks side by side which for that we have the Thule Wingbar Evo Rack part # TH711420, # TH710601, and # TH186028 which will give you a really quiet and high quality rack with 53 inch long crossbars.
Then for rear loading carriers you could use the Thule Dockglide part # TH896. The rear saddles are felt lined which allows the kayak to easily slide forward up to the front saddles.
