I use a two bike rack on a hitch, works great. I tried a trunk rack and only got a few blocks from home before I turned around and gave up, the lid was flexing so much I could see the leading edge in the rearview mirror. I also want to use something on the roof but after speaking to somebody at SOA in NJ I pretty much gave up on that idea. I asked about using the Seasucker and he said don't unless I wanted to watch the metal twist like wet tissue paper. He said it would most likely pull back from the edges slightly when it twisted and the car would leak forever. He also recommended not putting it on the glass because it's thin lightweight glass and it might not handle a load on a bumpy road without breaking.
For a canoe you could use a t-bar riser on the hitch and fashion some sort of apparatus up front to support it so that it doesn't touch the car at all. I probably wouldn't though unless it was my only car.
