I have an AFT and use Thule 420 feet and 2 m wide bars for 6 creek boats. The benefit of this is there is no real weight limit as they are supported on the gutters, the downside is you cannot raise the roof! you certainly would not need 2 m bars, 120cm - 140cm I think would be ample. My mate Ritchie has the bars that connect to the AFT roof via the threaded holes, he can carry 2 kayaks no problem, just don't lift the whole lot whilst raising the roof, so 2 sit - on - top kayaks would be easy. Hope this helps!
