To add a kayak carrier to your Audi Q8's factory crossbars you will want the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack item # Y04091. This kayak carrier is compatible with your crossbars and has a 150 lbs weight capacity.

The BigCatch is a saddle style carrier that will have a low profile when mounted to your roof. It includes two load straps with padded cam-buckles that will secure your kayak to your roof rack. It also has two bow and stern tie-downs that anchor your kayak to your Audi.

I have linked a review video below.
