I have a Lexus IS250 and use it to load my PA12. It takes a little practice, but once you have it down it's actually easier than getting someone to help you! I learned from the same video Rambo posted above. One thing, put a towel down between the rails from the roof to the middle of the doors. It might save you the scratches that I picked up.

I use the Boatloader for my 13' 92# Predator XL and it works like a charm. X2 on the advice above with angling and have some side protection for the car to avoid scratches. Doesn't take much practice to get it figured out and then it's a breeze.

I also use the technique technique below just to be sure that the yak does not slip off when loading. It takes less than a minute and is worth it for the reduced worries.
