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.

your biggest concern will be finding roof racks to fit the contour of the bug roof. From passenger side to drivers side to the middle is about 3 inches higher from the rain gutters so you will need racks with tall legs or mounts.
As for the daily driver if you keep it stock and maintain it, a bug will run forever but the moment you start upgrading it becomes more and more maintenance. I have had a few. if you see one you like be sure to look under the battery tray for rust and around all the windows. if there is rust that is through around the windows walk away unless you can weld, know someone or are willing to drop some cash to have it fixed. 001 137.jpg 2332 with a turbo I got about 10 mpg if I babied it. I took it to LJ once and had to stop for gas twice on the way down and twice on the way back. 001 154.jpg way too much invested almost cost me a divorce. drivers.jpg notice the black stripe it was completely rusted to the point that my feet would get wet when it rained. P8100041.JPG all fixed about $15,000 was spent to bring this one back to life. P8100042.jpg P8100050.jpg Photo_061409_001.jpg 1915 with a race transaxel last one I owned I drive a full size truck now because its cheaper, way more comfortable, power windows, AC and heat are a sacrifice you will make to drive a VW, But you will look cool! if you ever have any questions feel free to PM me.
