Rhino Rack tells me that their roof rack is not compatible with Prius models with the solar roof, however Thule offers solutions that are compatible.
If you prefer the aerodynamic AeroBlade crossbar, you can construct a rack using the following parts:
53 Inch AeroBlade Crossbars, part # THARB53
Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, part # TH480R
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # THKIT1566
For a less-expensive option using square crossbars:
50 Inch Crossbars, part # THLB50
Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, part # TH480
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # THKIT1566
Thule recommends that you NOT open the sunroof while the rack is in place.
