    Nothing worthy

    I'd suggest even one kayak. It makes mounting and removing the J rack easier and MUCH more stable and strong.
    As for the sunroof, you can open it but DONT pop it up!!!! LOL might break the glass or damage something. Once you mount it the proper way popping up the glass is no problem.

    Like so ~ yes, I drew that.....
    use "T" bolts slid into the rack that point straight up and whatever nut you choose for profile, I'm going to try the supplied wings nuts form the J rack and tighten up top. looks like they won't interfere with the kayak.

    Holy crap, that is a lot of weight, I am not sure I would want that much up on the canopy. The one I am looking at is 165, but I have to put on a prinsu/frontrunner type rack on the canopy, that is if my canopy ever comes back from the dealer/manufacture for the leaks I am having, as the attachment method as far as I can tell will not work with a yakima rack. Damn hard shell RTT

    With that much weight alone and then humans, you need to have something build to take that weight.

    FWIW I didn't use a step bit and drilled 10. Just used three different sizes, took longer but didn't make a mistake

    Step bit is the best but you usually will have to finish the hole with a normal bit. Some step bits don't have large enough "ledges" to go fully through the roof.
