Question:
I just bought a 2018 Prius Prime without a glass roof. I had a Yakima rack on my 08 Civic so I wonder if I can use the round bars from that and buy everything else i.e. the towers and clips.

Hello Ed, thanks for reaching out. It is possible to use Yakima round bars on your 2018 Toyota Prius Prime. Yakima recommends a 48" bar for the 2018 Prius, so as long as your bars are 48" or longer they can be used. Aside from the bars, you will need the following:
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06123
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06169
- RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4 # Y03536
How long are your round bars? What are you planning to use the roof rack for?
