Expert Reply:

What sub model 2018 Toyota Prius do you have? The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is confirmed to fit the base model and the Prius c if it doesn't have a spoiler. If you have the Prius Prime then we actually don't have a fit.

Also, what middle band are you referring to? The FullBack only has 4 straps so there wouldn't be a middle set of straps or hooks. If you could let me know and possibly send a picture I can try to help you determine why you are having troubles fitting your vehicle.

I see what you mean now. Try taking the strap off of the bike rack and then feeding the strap through the gap from the inside, wrap it around your bike rack, and then feed it back inside so that you can feed the anchor through the strap. This may be a little tricky to do though. If this doesn't work then you can use the SeaSucker Cable Anchor # 298-BA0020 and then feed a cable lock like part # e98891 through the loophole to secure the bike rack.
