Loading/Unloading with a bad back? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used that suction cup thing on a rav4. Works ok most of the time. Doesnt work on the new rav with the shark fin antenna.
I had thought about getting this
Thule Outrigger II Easy Loader Extension Bar
It slides in the cross bar for travel and pulls out for loading and unloading.
Only issue is you need the thule racks for it.
There are other options but they either wont fit my car or too expensive.
If i get to the point of have real issue loading the kayak on top of a vehicle I will break down and get a small a trailer.

Thats my 2 bits
