Roof mount VW Bug???

So I'm looking in to picking up a VW bug for my new DD and I'm curious as to how well roof mounts with a kayak sitting on top works out...which mounts, is it safe, ect. If you have any advice or experience with this please let me know.

Is your kayak crescent shaped? If so you should have no problem

I have an outback...I really want to use a Thule saddles or something similar. Just wondering what would work good with the roof of the car...it's a little odd shaped.

Old bug as a DD? Better keep it stock. I carried my revo on my 68 bug for a while socal imports for the roof rack don't get the basket type get the cross bars. For parts or if you need info on VW's check out www.thesamba.com.

Looking for something in 1960's so old...and my DD consists of driving back and forth to work and to the waters edge, we use the wife's jeep for everything else. With the cross bars and raingutter mounts would I be able to use saddles and mount the kayak right side up? I really just want to make sure I can make this work. Thanks for the advise guys.
