Here is a trick to help load a kayak by yourself, if you have a harbor frieght near by. for $5.99 you can buy one or two of these Dual Cup Suction Lifter

Basically you can stick it to your window, or when I had my Jeep, I use to use the suctions and attach them to the top of my rear roof, I would use a pool noodle from walmart or the dollar store. 
And when there on sale, stock up on these suckers! You can use them for just about anything, from floating your line, to extra flotation in your yak, to cutting a piece and using it to help from your paddle sinking, you'll be surprised at what you can use these for. Any way, I cut the pool noodle to fit the handle and use plastic tie straps to keep it on the dual cup suction lifter, that way when you lift one end of your kayak onto it it will help you guide and slide your kayak easily onto your vehicle roof rack....
If you buy two of them you can also attach a PVC pipe with pool noodles to make an even wider guide for your kayak, imagination is limitless!
Paddle on!
