What Roof Rack will Fit the Malone Profile18S on my 2010 Toyota Prius?
Question:
Will the Malone profile 18s cargo box fit on my 2010 Prius mounted on the Rhino Rack vortex aero. I dont care if the hatch touches the box as long as it opens 90 of the way. I need to fit 190cm skis at least.

I have a great solution for you if you wish to fit the Malone Profile18S # MPG910 on your 2010 Toyota Prius. Unfortunately, since the crossbars of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 are 3-1/8 inches wide, they are too wide for the clamps on the Profile18S to clamp around the bars.
However, a great system that will definitely work with our available specs with the Profile18S and allow you to open your rear hatch at least 90% of the way is the following setup:
- Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00422
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 4 # Y06117
- (optional) Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204
The maximum crossbar spread of this setup is 32 inches. With that spread, you will have the required 21 inches from the rear crossbar to the line where the roof and hatch meet to fully open your rear hatch. Also, you will be able to fit your skis that are 190cm on your roof of your vehicle. As far as crossbar fitment, the box will be able to clamp onto the CoreBars. With this rack, you will have a maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds. I recommend confirming with your owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle that much weight.
