    Hello!

    Just bought my first Toyota Prius 2010 here in Norway :thumb:
    It will apear in shops late August, but my new car will be deliverd in October....

    I have a pretty large family, but i think this car will do just fine. BUT......I bought the premium model with Solar roof. I was hoping to use a roof rack with a box with this car, but the dealer said that it would not be possible.....for the moment :eek:

    I guess there are a couple of thousands families that are hoping for a possibility to use a roof rack with this car/equipment. Does anyone have information concerning this problem?

    Has anyone, with sucsess, managede to put a roof rack ontop of the solar panel?

    Regards from Norway (with 25 Degrees celcius at seven thirty in the evening....) No Polarbears here...:p

    Going from a 2004 to a 2010, adapting my rack to fit over the glass roof appears to be just a matter of new clips (since the metal frame over the door is longer now).

    I have a rack setup to carry 2 kayaks... which worked great last year... now it is sitting in the garage waiting for the update from Yakima.

    Hi John,

    that sounds great and great relief for our family ;-).

    Did you receive the Update clips from Yakima?

    Does the roof still open with the rack on?

    Thanks from Europe,
    Tulip
