Expert Reply:

The most quiet and aerodynamic roof rack solution offered for your Prius V is the WingBar Roof Rack from Thule, which would be assembled by using the following parts:

53 inch WingBars, part # TH711400 in silver or # TH711420 in black
Evo clamp feet, part # TH710501
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # TH145129

You will NOT want to operate the panoramic roof while the roof rack is in place. You'll also want to consider that adding cargo of any kind to your roof will have a negative effect on your fuel economy.

There are many different accessories available, including Bike Racks, Cargo Bags, Cargo Baskets, Cargo Boxes, Ski Carriers and Watersports Carriers. If you'd care to reply and give me an idea of what you're wanting to use the roof rack for, I'd be happy to make some recommendations for you.
