Works on my 2004 Toyota Prius, but man, this thing was hard to install the first time. Contrary to the instructions that come with the kit, you really have to get the whole thing assembled (feet, load bars and fit kit) BEFORE placing the rack on the car. If you try to do it while the unit is positioned on the roof of the car, the bolts are not long enough to engage the threaded nut way up inside each foot. Also, stick to the measurements they specify in the instructions. That part they did get right.
Now that I did the intital set up though, the rack is super sturdy, and relatively easy to take on and off. To fit the 2004 Toyota Prius you will need the Thule Fit Kit #2142, a set of the Thule 400xt Aero Feet, and a set of load bars of your desired length (I got the LB58, 58" ones).
Overall a good product, but Thule could do a way better job on their instruction manual.
Special thanks to the Cracks and Racks store in Aspen, Colorado who I had to randomly call for help because the Thule tech support was closed on the weekend. You guys were so helpful and nice even though i hadn't bought the unit from you. cracksandracks.com

I have the 400xt Aero Foot, LB65 Square Load Bars, 2119 Fit Kit and locks on my 2007 Toyota Matrix XR and love it. I was a little taken a back by the price, but you get what you pay for. I wanted something stable, when it is on my car, I don't want it to come off. I didn't want to realize my stuff was gone and come back 100 miles later and find it on the road.
We had one of Thule's racks on our 77 VW Van in the late 70s-80s. We moved from Alaska to WV with that rack on our car. Some place in CO we got stuck in a blizzard and the wind was so strong our car was rocking up on two wheels. The rack and our stuff stayed on strong. I knew when it was time for a rack on my car Thule was the way to go. Sure it's expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Had to struggle a little bit to put it on my car. While the front side installed without much fight, the back side there was some struggle. With the help of a friend we were able to mount the whole rack system in 2 hours. However, before that I had spent 2 hours by myself and gave up. It fits too tight to the car, which is required and good. However, during the installation I felt there was no leeway in the spacing of rubber pads or the base (even a few millimeters).
In the end, however the Aluminium bars look good on the car compared to the square or round coated bars.

Ordered the Thule Fit Kit for my 2000 Mercedes E430 Sport. Had a little trouble getting the kit installed w/ the Thule RB47 Rapid Aero Aluminum Roof Rack Load Bars and Thule 400XTR Aero Rapid Roof Rack Foot Pack, it was a bit of a struggle getting the screws locked in, since I was performing the install directly on the car roof. Once I took all the pieces off, connected the fit kit to the load bars and fit kit off of the car and then loaded all the pieces together it worked. I need to buy the Thule skirt so that it blocks out the wind noise while driving. While driving there are no issues - at around 75-80mph I had no issues.

This fit kit was a perfect fit for my 2007 Versa. The price is by far the lowest I found, even comparing it to Thule.com. It took me about 30 minutes to install my racks and I advice future buyers to get a second person to help with the installation. The delivery was super fast, it only took 5 days to receive this product from Amazon.com and shipping was free! I am very happy with this purchase. I am now ready for my trip.
