Question:

I bought this system for a Forester with existing side rails. I wanted to see if I could use just these cross bars with different feet for a 2015 Prius with a bare roof. Is it possible? Trying to save money without buying an entirely new system.

Expert Reply:

I have a great roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, since the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216 is only designed to work with raised side rails, it will not work on the bare roof of your 2015 Toyota Prius. There are no feet or other components that Malone produces for this application.

With that being said, we do carry great roof rack systems for your Prius. For that route, I recommend the following parts:

- Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs # INSUT
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK865

Not only does this system provide you with included locks and keys, it allows you to transport cargo up to 140 pounds. As with all roof racks, I recommend that you consult with your owner's manual to confirm that your roof can accommodate that much weight.
