For the 2016 Toyota Prius C the available aftermarket roof racks from Rhino-Rack, Yakima and SeaSucker are shown on the linked page. I confirmed with Thule that they offer no roof rack fits for your car. Thule bars unfortunately will not work with Rhino-Rack or other brands' rack foot components.

The best rack value from Rhino-Rack comes with their Vortex 2500-Series rack made of parts # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK351. This aero bar rack includes 41-inch crossbars that offer excellent compatibility with almost all roof-rack-mount accessory items like bike and cargo carriers and they will make less noise than other bar shapes.

I linked such roof carriers that will fit this bar style. If you need a carrier I will be glad to help you select one if you'd care to tell me about the items to be transported.
