Yakima has confirmed the fit of the Yakima Fullback bike rack part # Y02634 on your 2016 Toyota Prius, but if your customer is concerned the best option will be a hitch mounted bike rack as that gives you a very secure mount for a bike rack that doesn't touch any glass or painted surfaces.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
For a hitch you then would want the Draw Tite part # 24966 which is a confirmed fit.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
