    I know of many places in the United States be no problem to acquire the rack I'm not sure what all models are covered for what years and what have you but there are references to that that people can use in the industry to look that up very quickly but shipping to Mongolia may be prohibitive I don't know It's about a oh I don't know I guess a 60 lb part boxed up? That's just a guess maybe a tad lighter but nothing serious. There are places down in Georgia USA that have miles of Prius they are salvage yard along with miles of other brands of automobiles also not just Prius they advertise heavily on eBay I'm sure you could round up or find that rack you're looking for on eBay USA if I'm thinking about it later I'll try to send you a link or post the link in this thread.

    My Toyota dealer locally calls that a gear assembly and online it's like $508.. And it looks like it's in the country and available.
