This summer I saw a German high-roof westy with two kayaks on the roof. Of
course, putting the kayaks on top would be too tall, so they hung them off the
sides of the high-roof! One on each side. Dont know if they used some rack, or
if it was self-made. I only saw it in traffic.

Maybe you can use a rear hatch carrier on the side, with some modifications to
the rack? Hook it onto the slider door instead of the rear hatch, maybe?

Just a thought.
