Question:

Hello, Do.you know if Part Y77YB will provide enough clearance for the sunroof/solar on a 2014 Toyota Prius? I know a lot of racks will say they dont fit the sunroof/solar version but they actually will. If this one does not, could you recommend one? Thank you!

Hello Dave. We do offer roof rack fits for the 2014 Toyota Prius, but we do not have anything that is compatible with the solar package. The roof rack we offer will only fit if the solar panels are not present. Even then, we do not recommend opening the sunroof with the roof rack installed. The sunroof may clear the crossbars, but a lot of roof rack accessories hang down below the crossbar and reduce this clearance. Also, the roof rack can create a lot of road noise, so you probably don't want to open the sunroof anyway.

If you need to carry cargo with your 2014 Prius with the solar package, the only option will be to install a trailer hitch like the EcoHitch Class 2 Hitch # 306-X7178 and use a small cargo trailer or hitch mounted cargo carrier.
