Default Hauling kayaks in cold temps

My wife and I are about to leave eastern Iowa for a few weeks in the warm
Florida sun. We are considering hauling our kayaks and I am concerned about
their exposure to the current outside temps for the first few days. It is
currently reaching -5 F to -10 F at night with daytime highs are in the
single digits. The kayaks are Current Design rotomolded plastic and I haul
them on top of the car. One on foam pads and the other on Yakama Mako
Saddle and Hully Roller. I am worried about the pressure from the straps
and the vibrating on the cold plastic. I have no idea how brittle it will
get at these temps.

Any experience or opinions will be appreciated. Thank you.
