Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Installation on a Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius is a popular choice for Edmonton drivers looking for fuel efficiency without sacrificing versatility. Even though the Prius does not come with factory roof rails, it can still be equipped with a secure, vehicle-specific roof rack system when the correct components are used.
This installation was completed by our team in Calgary, but the rack system and fitment are exactly the same for Toyota Prius models driving in Edmonton and throughout Alberta. The Thule Evo Clamp system provides a clean, non-drill solution that’s ideal for carrying bikes, cargo boxes, skis, or light adventure gear.
Clean, Secure Fit on the Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius features a bare roof design, meaning there are no factory rails to mount to. Instead, the rack system clamps securely to the vehicle’s door frame using a model-specific fit kit.
The Thule Evo Clamp system is engineered for precision fitment. Using Thule’s exact measurements, the foot packs and fit kit align perfectly with the Prius roofline, creating a secure attachment without drilling or permanent modification.

Installation Notes and Fitment Details
Thule’s provided measurements for the Toyota Prius are extremely accurate. After pre-assembling the crossbars, foot packs, and fit kit, the installation itself took approximately 10 minutes once on the vehicle.
This same fit process applies to Prius models in Edmonton. Using the correct fit kit is essential for proper load distribution, secure attachment, and long-term performance.
