Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 won't work on the 2005 Acura MDX with factory roof rack. The factory roof rack cannot be replaced therefore the only option is a different kayak carrier. The Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier part # Y04074 with the Malone Channel Loader Kayak Load Assist part # MAL48FR is what I recommend which is a great option with load assist and all the tie-downs you'll need as well. It will still allow one person to load the kayak by themselves.
