sorry about being confusing.....I have the factory rails....I've never used crossbars before, I want to start using a kayak for the first time ever to do a little fising....I was hoping to find something cheaper then $200 but totally appreciate the help for sure

Procure the cross bars [salvage yard, etc]. I found a set on Craig's list locally. The rails should have long slot in the middle. Remove the rear rail cover ... with care as the plastic can be brittle [~$60 a piece]. Slide the cross bars in, locate and tighten the screws.

You will still need to use some contraption to secure the kayaks to the cross bars.

Some accessory makers like Thule may have something that mounts on the rails.

Good luck
