Can you transport 2 kayaks on a bare roof?

i have 2 kayaks an di need to transport them but i cant afford to put a rack on my car for $350, so i was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative? if this is possible what is the best way to do it? thanks!!!Can you transport 2 kayaks on a bare roof?
Definitely do not transport your yaks on a bare roof. They will slide off. A cheap alternative to purchasing a full roof rack system you can purchase a foam block and strap set that is made to sit on top of your roof for transporting kayaks. The foam blocks can either sit on your bare roof or be put on your factory cross bars. These kits typically cost $49-69. Some companies sell just the blocks too for those people that already have tie downs, the blocks alone typically cost around $29.Can you transport 2 kayaks on a bare roof?
Nope this wont work several reasons..



1. The supports under the roof will support the kayaks but the bare roof will be destroyed.



2. Even using towels or blankets along with tie-downs wont work because they will slide off.



Depending on the year, make and model try checking into rain gutter or drip rail holders because you can get these for under $100.00 dollars but check the weight ratings.
