Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2018 Toyota Prius Prime

While the Fit Kit 5029 # TH145029 is designed to fit your non-glass roof on your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime, it is not compatible with the Rapid Traverse Feet. This is because the # TH145029 is designed to work with the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501.

To have a complete roof rack setup, you also need one of the following crossbar choices:

- Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 53" Long - Qty 2 # TH712400
- WingBar Evo - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711420 (black)
- WingBar Evo - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711400 (silver)

If you are looking for an extremely aerodynamic system that ultimately leads to a quieter ride and increased fuel capacity, I recommend going with one of the WingBar Evo sets. For extra theft-deterrence to protect you investment, I suggest adding locks to the Evo Feet with part # TH450400.

If you happen to have a glass roof on your Prius Prime, the only roof rack we carry is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. Not only does this rack include an impressive 150-pound weight capacity, it involves the easiest installation and removal process out of any of our roof racks. It is also compatible with many roof-mounted accessories to provide you with a wide range of compatibility. For theft-deterrence, I recommend using the SeaSucker Window Anchor # 298-BA0010 along with the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891.
