Today we are going to be installing a Yakima roof rack on a 2007 Toyota Prius. We will be using 58 inch crossbars part number Y00409 and a set of Q-towers part number Y00124. We will also be using Q-clips designed to specifically fit our car. We will be using Q-clip Q124 and that is part number Y00724 and Q-clip number Q5. That is part number Y00605. These are our Q-clip sets. A Q-clip set will contain two metal brackets and two rubber patches. These rubber patches are designed to fit the contours of your vehicle and will snap into the bottom of our Q-tower. The Q-clips are contoured to fit the shape of your vehicle inside the door frame. We will be using the Q5 clips up front and the Q124 clips in the rear. 0:56

Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2008 Toyota Prius

Today on this 2008 Toyota Prius we are going to install roof rack from Thule. We are going to be using the following part numbers.

Toyota Prius Roof Rack Questions and Answers

• Placement of Rola Crossbars on a 2006 Toyota Prius
  
• I checked out a 2007 Prius we have here in our lot and I also did not see indents on it so it appears some vehicles do not have them unless both of us are missing something. What you can do is measure from the center of the B-pillar (the vertical metal piece that separates the front door and window from the rear door and window) forward 9-7/8 inches. That is where the center of the front bar should be. Then from the center of that bar, once placed, measure back 27-1/2 inches and that is where th

• Which Rhino-Rack DK Foot Pads and Clamps Fit on a 2006 Toyota Prius
  
• The correct Rhino-Rack Custom DK clamps and pads is part # DK079. These clamps and pads work with Rhino-Racks 2500 Series roof racks. To complete the roof rack you will need a set of crossbars. Rhino-Rack offers elliptical crossbars as well as square crossbars. For elliptical crossbars you can use the Black Aero Crossbars, # DA126B, or Silver Aero Crossbars, # DA126. For square crossbars you can use the Heavy-Duty Crossbars, # DH1250S. For your vehicle I would recommend choosing one of t

• Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Toyota Prius to Carry a 10 ft Ladder
  
• The roof rack that I would recommend for your 2005 Toyota Prius is the Rhino-Rack Aero Clamp-On Roof Rack, # DA126 and # DK079. A large concern with customers that use roof racks on fuel efficient cars is the fact that roof racks negatively impact their fuel economy. These aerodynamic crossbars will still have an effect on your gas mileage, but not as much as square or round crossbars would. For your vehicle, this roof rack has a weight capacity of 110 lbs. I strongly recommend that you chec

• Ski/Snowboard Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Prius V

The recommended rack for your vehicle will contain the following part numbers: # Y00409 # Y00699 # Y00731 # Y00124 Once you have a roof rack installed, you will be able to install a ski/snowboard rack.

• Roof Rack for Carrying a Kayak on a 2012 Toyota Prius V Station Wagon
  
• I spoke with Rhino-Rack, Yakima and Thule, and all of them have roof racks that are forth-coming but not yet available for a 2012 Toyota Prius V. However, there is still an option for carrying a Kayak on the roof of the new car. You can use SportRack Premium Bar Harbor Foam-Block-Style Kayak Carrier, # ABR527, which will fit on a vehicle with no roof rack of any kind. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. Yakima makes a similar system that will work on a nake

• The Rola Sport Series Roof Rack, part # 59806, is the correct roof rack system for your 2006 Toyota Prius. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out. The SportRack Aero XL Cargo Box, part # A90275, that you referenced is designed to work on crossbars spreads of 24 inches to 34 inches. I spoke with my contact at Rola and asked him what the crossbar spread of the # 59806 is when installed and he could not give me an exact measurement. For a rack that we know

• What is the Diameter of the Cross Bars in Rola Sport Series Roof Rack # 59806 for a Toyota Prius
  
• I am not familiar with the Inno Boardlocker surfboard carrier but I did do some research on it. I could not find the specs I needed, specifically what size cross bars are compatible with the carrier. But, the cross bars on the Rola Sport Series Roof Rack with RM Mounting System, # 59806, are 1 inch tall by 3-1/8 inches in diameter. If the carrier will accept bars that size then it will fit the Rola rack.

• Will Rola Extended Series Roof Rack # 59834 Interfere with the Moon Roof on a 2005 Mazda 5
  
• Moon roofs on older vehicles slide into the roof in a cavity designed for it when in the open position. This would mean it should not protrude upwards in the open or closed position. However, on the 2007 Mazda 5, the roof goes out and up at an angle towards the back of the vehicle. There is a possibility it may interfere with the cross bars on the Rola Extended Series Roof Rack with APE Mounting System, # 59834, but, you can do some checking on the vehicle to find out.

• Will 50 Inch Thule Load Bars Fit Instead of 58 Inch Yakima Cross Bars for 2010 Toyota Prius
  
• I used our Fit Guide to determine which cross bars will work for your 2010 Toyota Prius. I found that the 50 inch Thule Loadbars, part # THLB50, will fit your 2010 Toyota Prius, if you do not have a glass roof. If there is a glass roof, you will need to go with the 58 inch Yakima Crossbars. Also, the 48 inch Yakima Crossbars, part # Y00408, will not fit your 2010 Toyota Prius. If your vehicle does not have the glass roof, and you decide to use the Thule Loadbars, part # THLB50, you will need

Toyota Prius Roof Bike Racks Questions and Answers

• Bike Rack and Ski Carrier Options for a 2010 Toyota Prius with Glass Roof
  
• We do have option that will allow you to carry skis and bikes with your 2010 Toyota Prius with the panoramic or solar roof, but there are no ski/bike rack combination options for the roof or trunk of your vehicle. Instead, I recommend installing a roof rack like the Yakima Q Tower roof rack which consists of two 58 inch crossbars, # Y00409, the Q99 Q Clips, # Y00699, the Q5 Q Clips, # Y00605, and the Q Tower Feet, # Y00124.

• You will want to position the Thule Sidearm Roof Bike Rack, part # TH584XT more forward on the vehicle to avoid any interference with the rear hatch opening. The mounting points on the bike rack are adjustable, which will allow you to mount the bike rack more forward.

• Can a Carbon Fiber Frame Bike Be used on a Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Carrier
  
• There should not be any more concern with a fork mount than say a full wheel mount. The weight of the bike is resting in the same place whether that is on a wheel or fork mount would not make much difference. The bigger concern with carbon fiber frame bikes is using them on a hitch mounted hanging bike rack. Bouncing on the back of a vehicle while hanging by the top tube can stress the frame in a way it is not designed to handle. When you mount the bike on the rack, just take the same prec

Toyota Prius Roof Cargo Carrier Questions and Answers

• Options for Roof Cargo Carrying with a 2009 Toyota Prius
  
• The weight capacity of your roof should be clearly identified in the owners manual of your 2009 Toyota Prius. A roof cargo bag should do well for you but like you said if someone wanted to steal the bag they could cut the straps if you left it on the roof of your vehicle. A solution for this would be to remove the bag from your roof when you are going to park your vehicle in a public place.

• Recommended Rhino Rack Cargo Box for 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid
  
• Given the parameters you mentioned, I believe the Rhino Rack # RMFZ65 would be your best bet. The box is large enough to accommodate you skis, but its low profile and aerodynamic shape will minimize wind resistance. According to my Rhino Rack representative, the rear overhang of the RMFZ65 is 15-3/4 inches. To determine where the rear of the box will be in relation to the rear hatch, simply measure 15-3/4 inches rearward from your rear crossbar. This will give you an idea of whether or not th

• To determine if the Yakima SkyBox 16s Cargo Box, part # Y07178, will fit the roof of your 2009 Toyota Prius and clear the rear hatch you will need to take a measurement on your vehicles roof. The minimum clearance measurement to determine rear hatch clearance is taken from the center of the front crossbar of the roof rack on your vehicle to the seam of the rear hatch on your Prius. That measurement will need to be 52 inches or more for the roof cargo box to clear the rear hatch on your vehic

• Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendations for a 2007 Toyota Prius
  
• In order to determine the roof weight capacity for your 2007 Toyota Prius, you will need to consult the vehicle owners manual. Different racks have different carrying capacities but if your roof is lower, you have to adhere to it, not the rack. If the rack is lower, you will have to stay under its weight limit. Which ever is the lowest. I recommend the Thule system as it has a higher weight capacity at 165 pounds. Again, if the rating on your roof is lower, adhere to that rating. You will nee
