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
by: Kevin06/13/2021
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
- Roof Rack Option For 2017 Chevy Bolt After checking with multiple manufactures, the only option you have for your roof would be these SeaSucker Monkey bars # 298-SX6000B. You may need to adjust them a tad to get the 4-8 inches beyond the sucker that the Thule Hullavator # TH898. Unfortunately, this is the only way to get roof bars on your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, but it's better than nothing!
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars and Bike Rack for a 2017 Maserati LevanteAt this time we actually do not have a hitch for a bike rack for your 2017 Maserati Levante. What you could do instead is use a set of crossbars like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2, with the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX046 and then use a roof mounted bike rack like the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount # TH599000-FB. These crossbars are designed to work if you have factory rails, however if you do not then you'd need...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack That Can Be Swapped Between Different VehiclesSince every vehicle is going to require specific fit kits, there isn't going to be a traditional roof rack option that'll allow you to swap between vehicles. Instead, your best bet would be to use a universal roof rack like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This roof rack is going to attach to the roof of the desired vehicle via vacuum cups so it'll be pretty easy to swap between the two vehicles.
view full answer... - How Long Can SeaSucker Monkey Bars be Left on VehicleYes, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B can be left on for a week. Here's what Seasucker states: There’s no set time limit on our vacuum mounts. It depends in part on the surface you attach to, the condition of the vacuum mount, the load you put on it, and other factors. As for surfaces to attach to, vacuum mounts in general were designed to carry big sheets of glass and other solid surface materials, so smoother, flatter surfaces are ideal. Clean surfaces and clean SeaSuckers...
view full answer... - Roof Rack to Use Hullavator Kayak Carrier on a 2015 Mini Cooper S JCW EditionIf your 2015 Mini Cooper S JCW has the factory flush side rails that run front to back on the roof then you can use Yakima 60 inch JetStream crossbars # Y00426, RidgeLine towers # Y00145, and fit kit # Y06009. These bars are longer than the bars you would normally use. This is because the Hullavator # TH898 requires at least 4 inches of overhang past the towers in order to work properly and clear the side of the vehicle. If the vehicle has a naked roof (no bars or rails of any kind) then...
view full answer... - Best Roof Rack Options for a 2016 Land Rover Discovery/LR4Absolutely! A Land Rover Discovery is referred to as the Land Rover LR4 here in North America. This is not to be confused with the Land Rover Discovery Sport which is an entirely different vehicle altogether. The Discovery/LR4 came with two different roof options which were a bare roof and roof with factory installed tracks. If you have the factory installed track system then you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which is composed of the the crossbars part # RRVA137B-2,...
view full answer... - Availability of Roof Rack to Fit on a 2004 Saturn VueThe roof rack that I have available for a 2004 Saturn Vue if you have raised side rails is the Rhino Rack roof rack # RRVA118B-2 with # RRSX100. If you don't have raised rails on your Saturn then the only rack we carry that fits is the Monkey Bars using part # 298-SX6000B.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack For 2013 Chevy Tahoe With Naked RoofI do have a roof rack option that will fit your 2013 Chevy Tahoe with a naked roof. Unfortunately we do not offer any custom roof racks or fit kits for your Tahoe, but we do have the SeaSucker Roof rack # 298-SX6000B which will be a good fit. This uses a vacuum cup to attach to the roof of the car. The vacuum cups are very strong and secure. Each cup gives you 120 lbs of pull strength, so with 6 cups holding the bars to the roof, your gear is not going anywhere. This uses a round crossbar,...
view full answer... - Height Of SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B To Bottom of Crossbar The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B will position the bottom of the crossbar 4-1/2" above the roof at the mounts. As long as your roof curve and hump does not exceed this you will be able to use them to carry your Stand Up Paddleboard. I recommend using a set of Pads # 298-SA1022 and Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps # 298-SA0010 to secure your SUP and protect it from damaged on the round bars.
view full answer... - Recommendation For Carrying 2 Kayaks On A 2001 Dodge RamFor your 2001 Dodge Ram, I recommend you utilize your rear trailer hitch versus a front hitch and half of a roof rack. It sounds a little strange but if you put one crossbar on the roof and then used the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149, you could not only carry 2 kayaks but the T-Load will also help with lifting or lowering them. For the roof rack, I recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B as this is the only rack...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1995 Ford Mustang GT with Dual ExhaustThe Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11041, is only designed to fit all V6 models of the Ford Mustang, so it will not fit your 1995 GT with dual exhaust because it has a V8 engine. If you would like to carry bikes on your GT, we have the Thule OutWay Trunk bike rack for 2 bikes # TH45JV or the # TH56BV for 3 bikes. Also if your Mustang is not a convertible, you could use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B and then add a bike rack our cargo...
view full answer... - How to Install Third Crossbar for 12 ft Long Paddleboard on Front Roof of 2014 Toyota SiennaI do have a single crossbar option that would work for you, the Darby Turbo-Rack, part # DTA968. This crossbar mounts with a strap that would run through the vehicle along the ceiling. If you click the provided link, you can see how the crossbar works. Another option is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. You'll need to purchase two crossbars since they aren't sold individually but it'll still work for you. The Monkey Bars attach with vaccum cups so you can pretty much put them anywhere....
view full answer... - Roof Rack For 2007 Dodge Caliber With Naked RoofI understand your concern but at this time there are not any custom fit roof racks for the 2007 Dodge Caliber, the Seasucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B is still a great option. It may seem concerning to use vacuum cups to install the rack but SeaSucker has been to our facility and the cups can handle 210 lbs of pull strength. The roof rack has an overall capacity of 150 lbs. The best thing about the rack is you can quickly remove the bars and store them in the trunk when you're...
view full answer... - Availability of a Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Audi TTThere are no trailer hitch options for the 2008 TT. 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... - Roof Rack for a 2010 GMC Yukon Hybrid with a Naked Roof to Carry a Porta-BoteIf your 2010 GMC Yukon has a naked roof (no side rails that run front to back, crossbars that run side to side, or tracks that run front to back) then we do have a roof rack option for you. You can use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. This roof rack utilizes vacuum mounts that are rated for 210 lbs pull strength each so they are very solid for carrying anything within the 165 lb weight rating of any traditional roof rack. It is also very...
view full answer... - Can SeaSucker Roof Rack Be Used in Cold Weather ClimatesWe've asked SeaSucker in the past about using their racks like the # 298-SX6000B you referenced in cold temperatures and they have told us that as long as the vacuum cups are room temperature when you install them on the vehicle you are fine. They need to be pliable to seal properly but once installed the cold weather is not an issue at all. According to them a lot of customers use their roof racks for carrying their gear for extreme snow sports so they can withstand cold temperatures easily.

When you say you are in need of securing rails to your 2005 Toyota Avalon, I am assuming you are looking for a crossbar system. Unfortunately, I confirmed with all our manufacturers that there are no traditional roof rack systems available for your bare roof on your 2005 Toyota Avalon. With that being said, we do have an amazing option. I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. The SeaSucker comes with an amazing 150-pound weight capacity. Also,...

I checked with my contacts at Thule and Yakima and they do not offer a custom fit track for your vehicle at this time. The only option to add the tracks is a local dealer. If you want a roof rack without tracks, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This system uses vacuum cups to adhere to the roof of your van. Each cup has a 210 lb pull strength...

I wouldn't call it a permanent mount but there's no reason you couldn't leave it on the car. Or you can just take them off since they install and uninstall so easily. SeaSuckers mount using vacuum cups. So they can essentially be mounted almost anywhere with any crossbar spread. I've linked a couple...
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars for a 2010 Toyota AvalonI checked with a couple of different manufacturers and there is not a set of crossbars available for your 2010 Toyota Avalon. That being said, your best bet would be to use a universal crossbar like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. These crossbars are going to vacuum to the roof of your Avalon and provide you with an adequate set of crossbars. They won't be custom to your vehicle, but they are pretty easy to operate and manipulate.

The SeaSucker roof rack, part # 298-SX6000B attaches to the roof using 6 vacuum cups that are similar to suction cups. I know what you might be thinking, Suction Cups, really? These aren't the suction cups like what you've seen before. Each of the six cups has a pull strength of 210 lbs per vacuum cup, for a total of 1260 lbs. In other works, it'd take 1260 lbs of evenly distributed force to pull those cups...

The only roof rack system we have available that will work with your 2016 Ford Explorer's bare roof is the Seasucker Monkey Bars - 48" # 298-SX6000B. The height of the Seasucker Monkey Bars is just under 4-1/2 inches from the top of the roof to the top of the crossbars. One great feature is the mounting vacuum cups. The vacuum cups secure tightly to the roof's vehicle and gives your vehicle 150 pounds of maximum carrying capacity. The Monkey Bars has the easiest...
