Expert Reply:

The Rola Sport Series Roof Rack 59721 does not include any hardware for mounting a kayak carrier other than the crossbars for mounting a kayak carrier on. It does include all hardware necessary to install the roof rack on your 2009 Toyota Matrix.

If you were interested in carrying two kayaks on this roof rack, then I would recommend taking a look at The Stacker by Thule, # TH830. This kayak carrier has the ability to carry up to 4 kayaks and mounts directly to the crossbars from the Rola Sport Series roof rack. This carrier will not hold kayaks longer than 10 ft.

You could also look into adding two individual kayak carriers like the SportRack J-Style Carrier, # SR5511. This is a different style carrier that supports the kayaks from the side and the bottom. Both carriers include all necessary straps.
