Roof Rack - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Here is my dilema I got a 2012 civic and a stealth-14. I want to put a roof rack on the car but afraid to damage the paint or the rubber seals on the doors. What everyone is doing to protect the car from the damage?? Everytime I think about getting a roofrack I think of the damage and back off. Any experience about long term use to you put the rack on and off or do you just leave it on all ways...
For now Im using my 81 VW camper but that thing is over 7ft tall closer to 8. (need a chair to tie the kayak) and its slow. Its just just a headache to use the van.
