About the car: Toyota Prius XW30 (third generation)
The Toyota Prius XW30 is the third generation of the Prius, with a 5-door fastback or liftback body, on the Toyota New MC platform. Production ran from March 2009 to 2016. The facelift came in 2011, for model year 2012.
The roof of this Prius is smooth, without roof rails. That is why the roof bars attach directly to the body, with the fitting kit, and accessories are fixed to the roof bars, not to the roof.

The Menabo Tema Aluminium are 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide, with a 20 mm T-track on top. The set contains 2 aluminium roof bars, 4 fitting kits, 4 feet, 4 lock cylinders, the matching keys and an Allen key.
The maximum load is 50 kg. If the accessory has no T-track fitting, you can opt for a U-bolt fitting around the outside of the roof bar.
