Expert Reply:

For your 2016 Volvo XC60 with flush rails, the Rhino-Rack Aero crossbars would be an excellent. You can go with crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and then you also need Feet # RRSX025.

For a canoe carrier, I think the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR would work well. The carrier arms can be adjusted from 28" to 47-1/2" wide to accommodate various sizes of canoes or kayaks. A more budget friendly carrier would be the Malone Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 6" Long # MPG156 which comes with foam blocks and straps to secure one canoe to the roof rack. While this is a more affordable option, the Lockrack will do a better job of keeping the canoe tight and secured to the roof rack.
