Question:

Hello, I was considering the Rhino racks for my Prius V. According to the specs, these dont seem to be compatible with the optional panoramic sunroof, which I have on this car though it cannot be opened, so I dont understand how it would interfere. So, if I cannot use these, which rack model would you recommend to fit my car Thule, Yakima.. ?

Expert Reply:

You are correct. The Rhino-Rack roof rack is not designed to be able to fit your Prius with the panoramic sunroof but we do have other options that will.

I recommend the Thule SquareBar Roof Rack. This comes with 53 inch square load bars, the foot packs, and the custom kit that fits the roof of your Prius. To order this roof rack you will need part # TH712400, part # TH710501, and part # TH145129.

You want to make sure you do not exceed the roof carrying capacity for your vehicle.

I am looking for a kayak rack for a Prius V, moonroof that does not open. What do you recommend?

We can definitely get you set up with a roof rack and kayak carrier for your Prius V. Can you tell me what model year the Prius is?

@Kim Thanks for the info! For your Prius V I really like the Thule Roof Rack System that consists of parts # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145129. Then for the carrier itself I highly recommend the etrailer J-style # e98878.
