    Anybody with kind of roof rack in their Prius?I I saw a Universal roof rack on EBay that goes on your roof and you bring the strap thru your doors and tighten on the overhead in the ceilling of the car

    My neighbor has the Yakima Landing strips installed on his roof. (My wife's Flex has them too.)

    Very secure, much more so than any strap system. Pulled this image from Google showing the strips installed with a rack system on a Prius.

    Wow, I like that. I'd like to put a roof rack on my 2008 Prius.

    I have the Yakima for my 06. They are easy on off. 5 min. Max. I take them off when not being used. They make a difference to your fuel efficiency. H;)​
