Question:
Good Afternoon, I have a 16 accord sport with no rails and no crossbars. I came across this roof rack and thought it the best match for my needs. What Id like to know, in your expert opinion, is what type of kayak carrier I should be purchasing to go along with it. I would like to eventually be able to carry two kayaks, no longer than 14-foot and with up to a 34-inch beam? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Rhino-Rack ROC25 Series Heavy-Duty roof rack for your 2016 Honda Accord Sport Sedan that is made of parts # RB1375, # RRRLKHD and # DK359 is indeed a confirmed fit for your car. But note that this rack's unusual bar profile means reduced compatibility of accessory items like kayak carriers. You will have fewer kayak carrier choices with this rack.
Instead I suggest their Vortex Aero rack # RR32SR which features quieter aerodynamic crossbars that will generate much less wind noise than the heavy-duty bars thanks to their wing-like profile that cuts through the air much better. These bars also offer better compatibility with kayak carriers. This rack's price, weight capacity and bar spread are the same as the HD bars and it will offer a more OEM-like appearance.
With it you can use an aero-bar-compatible 1 or 2-kayak carrier such as the Thule Stacker # TH830 or one of the others shown on the linked page. Since this carrier holds the kayaks on their sides, their 34-inch beam will be no issue. Please refer to the linked video.
