Will the Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter Work on Toyota OEM Crossbars?

Question:

Hi, I have a 2020 Prius Prime and just installed Toyota factory roof racks. I found a second hand bike rack that mounts on the roof thule big mouth bike rack. I bought an adaptor kit Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers from this website but want to make sure I can use it on the toyota factory rack. Do you know if this will work? Thank you

Hello Abby,

I do not think that the Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers # Xadapt2 is going to work with your Toyota roof rack. I do not have a database that supplies me with the OEM roof racks, but in my research I am seeing that the factory crossbars do not have T-Slot track which is how the # Xadapt2 installs to the roof rack. I I attached a picture showing what a T-Track is on a Crossbar.

Please, let me know if they do or do not have the track or not by commenting below.
