Hobie on roof top? Yay or nay?

Can't speak for the civic, but I have had Prowlers, Revolutions and now a PA12 on my Outback with factory racks for years without any issues. With the PA, I use bow and stern straps.

Now that I type this I am looking for some wood to knock on! Best of luck to you. You should be fine (fingers crossed).

I own a 08 civic sedan, and thats how i carry my Yak. i use http://www.amazon.com/Yakima-Evenkee...ima+kayak+rack With my rack. It gets the job done. However, i do have a hard time sometimes cus my yak is 55 pounds and i do it solo.

PM me if you want pictures of my car's rack

Here's an Outback on a Golf. The biggest issue with your Honda might be premature rusting. VW has amazing rust protection but I know from previous experience that Hondas do not take salt water on their finish very well. So keep your Civic washed after transport.
