Monkey Bars are the perfect solution for adding a roof rack to your vehicle with a naked roof. Vacuum cups attach in seconds to the roof, trunk, or glass on your car, SUV, van, motorhome, or trailer. Because they don't require a permanent installation, the Monkey Bars are great for transporting gear when you're traveling by rental car. And if you're worried that vacuum cups won't stay attached to your vehicle, you can rest assured because each vacuum cup provides 210 lbs of suction, giving you a total of 1,260 lbs of pull strength. Your gear isn't going anywhere! Additionally, the rack stores easily in your trunk or garage when not in use, or in your suitcase while traveling.
Scratch-Resistant Vacuum Cups
The SeaSucker Monkey Bars are quick and easy to mount. To install them, make sure the mounting surface is clean and place them on your roof, trunk, or window glass then press the pumps several times until the orange bands disappear. Depending on the surface they're mounted to and the load being put on them, suction in the cups will decrease over time. Make sure to check the plungers before you get into your vehicle. When you see the orange indicator bands show simply re-pump the plungers.
To break the seal on each cup and remove the rack from your vehicle, simply pull the T-shaped tabs up and towards the center of the cups - it's that easy. Remove the body and vacuum cups and store them in your trunk or garage, or put them in a storage bag or suitcase to take with you.
Versatile Roof Rack
Monkey Bars are compatible with most accessories that clamp around roof rack bars, including bike, ski, watersport, and cargo carriers. Vacuum cups allow you to put the front and rear crossbars anywhere, so you can customize the crossbar spread to fit your accessory. This also allows you use the crossbars to carry kayaks, lumber, and other longer items as well as cargo baskets, luggage, and other shorter items.
Compact Storage
The bars screw apart in the middle. For compact storage, simply unscrew them and store them in your trunk, garage, or even in your suitcase if you're traveling or using a rental car.

Easy fit on Tesla Model X. Our fitment is for carrying kayaks and the occasional roof box. I would give these 5 stars if SeaSucker had the option to pivot the front mounts 90 degrees to decrease a sloping roof angle. The front mount placement is critical on a Model X as the front glass roof slope/curve means you'll definitely need to moisten the cups and press down firmly while suctioning to get a good fit. Another recommendation is to let the racks sit for 2-3 hours and then check the plungers to see if any have released air (clean and reposition if they have). Repeat the same dry fitment with your cargo attached.

I've waited until I had a chance to install it and test it on my 2017 Mustang before wrote this. Fits perfect and ruggedly built. I thought we would never be able to transport two kayaks but they proved me wrong. Love these Monkey Bars.

Great way to add a roof rack to your vehicle. Quality build and very easy on/off, works great

Still have them on my car they've been a real asset glad I got it
by: John 08/31/2020
I had actually used the bicycle version of the seasucker. My prior car was a Lotus Evora and the seasucker worked extremely well. This roof rack is to hold my Racing Scull Shell on my Porsche Cayman. Porsche does not offer a roof rack for this model anymore and as I thought, the Seasucker will fit the bill. Weird looking to see an almost 30' Scull on top of a car almost half the length, but literally something you don't see every day. I just check the suction every time I refuel, but other than that it does the job!!!!
by: Johnny S08/22/2022
These SeaSucker Monkey Bars are the greatest! I haul ladders and Kayaks like nobody's business! AND, I'm hauling all this on my 2005 Gran Marquis at over 70 miles an hour at some times!! Great investment. I just wish there was a better way of locking them to my car. I'll usually just pull them off and put them in the trunk. J.S.

Fell off the car the first time I used them. Fortunately I wasn't carrying anything, but the bar sustained significant damage and is now unusable. Contacted the company for a replacement, which they said they would provide, but still haven't seen it after a year.

The manufacturer will reach out to you. When installing the bars you will want to make sure that the surface is clean and then press the pumps several times until the orange bands disappear. Make sure to check the plungers before you get into the vehicle. if you see the orange indicator bands show simply re-pump the plungers.

Very good option for my car. Rack is very stable under the weight of my Kayak

Today I installed my new SeaSucker Monkey Bars and 2 sets of Curt J-Style folding kayak carriers on my 2020 Hyundai Veloster. I drove about 25 miles with them, with speeds up to about 60 mph. Everything fit perfectly and worked perfectly. I highly recommend these!

Fantastic easy to use site with so many options. I had questions so I called and Tracey provided everything to sort through the options. If there was an award for best in class customer service Tracey is the gold metal winner.

Once again etrailer.com has exceeded my expectations! This is my 4th purchase and everything has always arrived today on time (or ahead) and with no damage!! From box to car it took about 15 minutes to install. I even asked a question before purchasing and etrailer.com was able to answer and provide information that was useful and helpful. I will keep buying from etrailer.com.

See what our Experts say about this SeaSucker Roof Rack
- Availability of Roof Rack for a 1981 Honda PreludeWe do have a roof rack option for your 1981 Honda Prelude! The only roof rack that will fit your Prelude is the SeaSucker Roof Rack which comes with 48" Monkey Bars and 6 vacuum cups, part # 298-SX6000B. Either option has a 150 lb weight capacity but that has more to do with the strength of the crossbars and your vehicle than it does the vacuum cups. The vacuum cups actually have a pull strength rating of 210 lbs each. I have attached a review video as well as a road test video that you...
view full answer... - Adapter to Carry Yakima Accessories on SeaSucker CrossbarsI reached out to a representative of Yakima who told me that for the 1-1/4 inch diameter round crossbars of a SeaSucker roof rack like the # 298-SX6000B, the Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories # Y03590 will fit around them. They did caution that the MightyMounts not be the "best" fit and could roll a bit on your round bars but this is the only adapter that will allow you to use Yakima accessories on round bars that are 1-1/4 inches in diameter. The MightyMounts...

- Recommended Roof Racks for a 2017 Chevrolet TraverseI am not sure what you mean by channels. The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse has two options of roofs: one with flush rails and the other with a naked roof. If you have the flush rails, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. These are aero-style crossbars, so they are compatible with most accessories while cutting down on wind drag and noise. They're 54" long and have a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I've linked to a video review of these for you to look at. To attach...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for 2014 Mini Cooper S with Naked RoofI have a solution for you to add a roof rack to your 2014 Mini Cooper S, but the Yakima Roof Rack Kit that uses parts # Y00421, # Y00145 and Y06009 is not going to work with your bare roof. The only option available for your Mini Cooper is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B, but this is a great option that allows you to easily install and remove your roof rack. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars have durable vacuum cup mounts that won't damage your vehicle, but are still extremely strong, and...
view full answer... - Can SeaSucker Roof Rack Fit 2018 Nissan Titan King Cab for Carrying Kayak CarriersThe SeaSucker Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Nissan Titan King Cab. The vacuum cups are 6 inches in diameter and have a pull strength of 210 lbs per cup. Then for J-style kayak carriers the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option. This carrier is padded, can fold down when not in use, and will fit the SeaSucker bars easily. I attached a review video for this carrier plus one for the roof rack as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack and SkyBox for 2015 Mini CooperYes, there is a rack available for your 2015 Mini Cooper and it is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. This option uses vacuum cups rated for 210 lbs pull strength each to secure the rack and your roof box to the Mini. For a rooftop cargo carrier I recommend the Yakima Skybox 12 rooftop cargo box # Y07334. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine the capacity of the roof and be sure not to exceed this figure with...

A "trunk mounted" bike rack does not position the bikes any better. The SeaSucker suction cup mounts will not work properly in the back as there is not a flat area where the rear tires would go. If you must use the camera unobstructed then this leaves you a roof mount option. You should...
view full answer... - Seasucker Monkey Bar Roof Rack with Thule ProRide 598 Roof Bike RacksHi, great question and the answer is yes. I think using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B with a Thule roof mounted bike rack is the way to go with your 2013 Porsche Cayman.
view full answer... - What Roof Rack do You Recommend for my Bare Roof 2022 Toyota RAV4?I have a solution for you. Manufacturers sometimes take a while to engineer roof racks that fit a particular roof type on newer vehicle models. Currently, we unfortunately do not have a roof rack that comes with a door-jamb attachment style for a bare roof. However, with that being said, we do have a great alternative. For that route, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars involve the easiest installation and removal process out of any roof rack we...

I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Option for 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport without Raised Roof RailsThe only roof rack option we have for your 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport that does not have raised rails is the SeaSucker kit part # 298-SX6000B since all of the other manufacturers only list versions of your vehicle that have rails. This rack attaches with vacuum cups which hold the bars firmly to the vehicle roof. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.

- Does SeaSucker Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B Fit Both 2012 Toyota Prius C and 2019 Honda RidgelineThe really great thing about the SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B is how universal it is since it uses the vacuum cups for attachment. What that means is that yes it does fit both your 2012 Toyota Prius c and your 2019 Honda Ridgeline. To add security to this setup for theft-deterrence, the best way is to use the etrailer cable lock # e98891 along with the SeaSucker window anchor # 298-BA0010.

But if you need a hitch for a bike rack or cargo then there are other options. For bikes you could use a trunk mount rack like the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MAL84RR. For cargo or bikes you could use a roof rack, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. It has a max capacity of 150 pounds. I have included links to the review videos of each of these...
view full answer... - Are the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Suitable for an RV roofGreat News! I reached out to my contact at SeaSucker and he said that the Monkey bars part # 298-SX6000B will work just fine on your TPO roof. Keep in mind the double cups should be toward the front of the RV and you will want to check them periodically to ensure that the orange mark is well inside of the vacuum channel. These bars will work with all types of roof mounted accessories if you don't already have them please let me know and I will be happy to recommend some that will fill...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2017 Mercedes E400 Wagon to Carry 2 Pedego BikesWe have roof racks that fit your 2017 Mercedes Benz E400 that have the capacity you'd want but you should consider that you'll have to lift those heavy bikes up on to the roof of your vehicle. So for that you'd want the # 298-SX6000B which has a 150 lb weight capacity. Then for a roof bike rack with a 50 lb capacity we have the Inno part # INA389 which would work great too. It holds the bikes at the wheels which means you can leave the front wheel installed.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for a 1996 Toyota Hiace Mod VanWhile we do have a roof rack option for you, I checked with all of our roof rack manufactures, and they do not carry a roof rack with the gutter mounts you need on your Asian-model 1996 Toyota Hiace Mod. With that being said, I recommend going with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B (48" long) or # SEA99FR (60" long). The great thing about these crossbars is that they do not require any feet/gutter mounts to install; they simple attach to your bare roof of your van via vacuum cups....

As far as transporting kayaks, you will attach the kayaks to the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount # 298-SX6000B. For a compatible kayak carrier, I recommend the Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04074. The SweetRoll will allow you to...
view full answer... - Which Style Kayak Carrier Is Best For My 21 Foot Tandem Kayak On My 2021 Toyota Rav 4?First, you'll need a roof rack for your 2021 Toyota Rav 4. If you already have factory crossbars then you should just get the Malone Pads # MPG314 and our strap kit # e36ZR. I like the pads for larger kayaks since you won't have to worry about angling it up. This will just allow you to put your kayak upside down on the rack which is easier and it won't fill up with water if you run into rain on the way to or from kayaking. If you don't have a roof rack and have raised side rails, get...

The aftermarket crossbars are dependent on the style of roof you have on your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They have specific mounting locations so if you let me know what bars you have I may be able to specify where for you. You likely would need a different roof box for a fit but there is one...

When you are done with your adventure you can remove the rack and easily remove for storage so the rack is not always on your roof compared to other roof racks that can be difficult to remove and reinstall. The SeaSucker brand is the only roof rack that works on the Tesla Model X's...

Have a look at the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B which has 48" bars that secure to your roof with unbelievably strong suction cups (tested at 210-lbs strength per suction cup) to provide you with a roof rack that can be removed when it isn't being used.
