I have a great roof rack for your 2015 Ford Fusion!

It's the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711400. These are aero-style crossbars with T-slots on top, making them compatible with a large variety of accessories. To mount these to your roof, you will need the Evo Clamp Feet, part # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet, part # TH145186. I've linked to a video review of this setup for you to look at.

As for loading your two kayaks on top, I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier , part # Y04073. Using this J-style carrier in the vertical position, you can carry two kayaks side-by-side. It has a weight capacity of 110 pounds for the two kayaks together. I've linked to a video review of this carrier as well.
