My contact at Thule confirmed that the Thule AeroBlade Traverse Roof Rack System you chose will fit on your 2013 Toyota Prius V with the non-opening panoramic sunroof.

To order the complete roof rack system, you will need # TH711400 for the Thule Aero Load Bars. 1 set (qty 4) Foot Pack # TH710501 and # TH145129 Thule Fit Kit.

I have attached a link giving you all of the roof rack choices for your Prius V. By installing a roof rack system, there are many opportunities for cargo, I have attached links for roof mount bike racks and cargo carriers.
