Hi guys I pick up my new Focus Titanium 1.0 ecoboost next week and I'm after some advice on which roof rack and kayak loading accessories to go for please.

I use a 4.3 meter ocean kayak ultra. Which roof rack would you recommend? I've also been looking at the Thule hydroglides and maybe a malone k-rack do you think that the k-rack would be ok suctioned onto the rear spoiler bit? The kayak weights 35kg+. Really don't want to damage the car loading the kayak so need a rack and some kind of roller for the back. Too heavy and aukward to lift on my own and just throw up there. Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers

Matt
