What is the easiest-loading kayak roof rack?

I must be able to load my kayak on my Honda Civic alone. After using the foam blocks in the last year - which cost me $ 1200 paint job - I need to install the rack. Health problems do lifting, moving, and maneuver my kayak challenge, so I'm looking for the easiest way to do it. It seems that the Thule Slipstream or Hullavator is the easiest to use. While Hullavator looks like it might be easier, but still requires one to lift the kayak from the country. Two questions: (1) Are there any other good-quality models (including Yakima), which would be just as easy and easier to use? (2) The Slipstream and Hullavator that the easiest kayak loading? Someone has experience with both? Thanks!

I saw another brand new product that may be just what you're looking for. It's actually to help lift the top of the SUV, but the Civic you may be able to actually pick up the kayak from the ground and use the stand to pick up it into place.
