WILL NOT FIT Prius Prime 2021

Clamp Kit 5029 which is listed on the Thule website as suitable for my Prius Prime 2021 but after hours of trying to install it I gave up. As far as I can tell, this is the first review of the 2021 Prius Prime kit. I haven't found any others anywhere. Both the front and rear clips are too short. Each has a pin that fits snugly in the factory drilled hole in the door jamb, but they cannot be positioned to properly fit the gutter groove. They are about 5mm shorter. As a result, the rubber seal breaks out of the groove when tightening and no longer snaps into place. I've tried several times to adjust the side spacing on the Evo Wingbars but couldn't get the clamps to fit. I sought help on the Thule website and was told none of the kits fit my Prius model; Ironically I was advised to look at the confirmation on the Thule fitmycar link but it clearly stated that the 5092 kit would fit the 2021 Prius Prime! The end result of this useless exercise is I can return the kit and car rack, but I don't have a roof rack at all. No other company makes them for the Prius. Not a car rack, not a bike rack that is for roof racks. Not a happy customer.
