I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, even though the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet TH400XT feet are compatible with your 2012 Toyota Prius V, I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the fit kit 2124 and older-style crossbars LB50 that are needed for the Thule Aero - Roof Rack Support Feet # TH400XT on your vehicle are discontinued. The reason why the newer squarebars will not work with the Thule Aero Feet is because the older bars have channels in them that were designed to fit into the feet.

However, we do have some newer models of Thule squarebar systems that will work for your 2012 Toyota Prius. For this option, I recommend the following parts:

- Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH712400
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5129 # TH145129
- (Optional for extra security to deter theft) Thule One-Key System Lock Cores # TH450200

With this crossbar system, you will be able to transport cargo and accessories on your 2012 Toyota Prius V.
