I have a great roof rack that works for you. When you say that you do not have a sunroof, I am assuming you mean that you do not have a glass roof. In either case, the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1005 does not fit your 2019 Toyota Prius with a bare roof with or without a glass roof. We also do not carry any SportRack crossbars systems that are designed to fit your vehicle.

If you do not have a glass roof, I recommend the following roof rack system:

- Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # INB127
- Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black - Qty 4 # INSUT
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSUT Roof Rack Feet # INK486

Not only does this system include locking torque knobs and keys, it also is compatible with the SportRack Kayak Carrier # SR5511. With this system, you receive 100 pounds of maximum weight capacity, which is plenty of capacity for your kayak.

If you happen to have a glass roof without a sunroof, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. Not only do the Monkey Bars come with an impressive 150-pound maximum weight capacity, they are also compatible with the SportRack Kayak Carrier # SR5511. I went ahead and attached a video of the true force of the SeaSucker vacuum cups.

For theft-deterrence of the Monkey Bars, I recommend using the SeaSucker Cable Anchor # 298-BA0010 along with the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891.
