We have a trunk mounted bike rack that is a fit for the 2014 Toyota Prius V with a spoiler, but the Saris Guardian 3 is not a fit. I confirmed this with my contact at Saris.

Check out the Hollywood Racks Trunk Bike Racks # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
