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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

- How To Lock The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack To A VehicleFor your SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" # 298-SX6000B, you will want to use SeaSucker Cable Anchor # 298-BA0020 and etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long - 5/16" Diameter - Steel # e98891. This will keep your SeaSucker roof rack safe and secured to your vehicle.
view full answer... - Are The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Compatible With Fiberglass Surfaces?You have nothing to worry about! According to SeaSucker, all of their products like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B that you have for your 2008 GMC Canyon are compatible with fiberglass surfaces. Along with fiberglass surfaces, their products are also compatible with glass, metal, and most non-skid surfaces.

- Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with the Black Hard TopThe vacuum cups of the SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B that you referenced are 6 inches in diameter so based on the picture you sent in the ridges would interfere with this kit installing. So you'd have to go with a roof rack that uses a universal style gutter-mount like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Kit part # RRVA150B-2, # RRVA-FK1-2, and # RRRL110S5-2 which is a confirmed fit.

If you happen to have a factory roof rack, the Yakima GrandTour 16 # YA74FR and the GrandTour 18 # YA84FR fit your roof as long as your crossbars do not exceed 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall. I recommend measuring your crossbars to make sure they fit within these parameters. Also, in order to determine whether you can fully open your rear hatch with the box installed, I suggest measuring...

This cargo box fits crossbars that are between 1"-3" wide and between 3/4"-1-3/8" tall. The crossbar spread must be between 24"-36"; crossbar spread is the distance between the crossbars measuring from the center of each bar (see photo).

- Roof Rack For 2019 Toyota RAV4 with Flush Rails for Carrying Yakima Skybox 18At this time (August 2019) the only roof rack solution we offer for your 2019 Toyota RAV4 with flush rails is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B that you referenced which is perfectly compatible with the Yakima Skybox 18 part # Y07336. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

With the Fit Kit # RRRCP64-BK, this bolts right into the mounting points on your rails. I went ahead and attached a photo of the installation manual of the kit to provide you with perspective of the installation.

- What do You Recommend for a Roof Rack on my 2006 Ford Mustang to Haul my Kayak In your situation the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B will give you 48" round bars that you can attach the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878 which has everything you'll need to safely get your kayak to your favorite spots. As there are zero other options this is the way to go. I've included video on these for you to check out.
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... - Recommended Roof Rack for 2012 Toyota Sienna with Naked RoofI do have a great option for you, however I checked with Rhino-Rack and they do not list a roof rack confirmed to fit your 2012 Toyota Sienna with the naked roof. I checked with our other roof rack manufactures and nobody has a standard rack system that's designed for the naked roof on this vehicle. It appears that the vast majority of Siennas from the 2012 model year are equipped with the factory side rails that run front to back so there isn't a demand for a system that mounts to a...
view full answer... - What Kayak Carrier do You Recommend for My 2018 Toyota Prius Prime? I have a kayak transporting solution for you. You are absolutely correct in saying that the Toyota owner's manual for the 2018 Toyota Prius Prime does not recommend towing for your vehicle. With that being said, going against the manufacturers recommendations can be extremely dangerous and we here at etrailer strongly advise against it. It can also possibly void any warrantees you have on the vehicle. However, there are definitely some safer options for transporting your kayaks. For that...
view full answer... - Does the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan with a Naked Roof?I do have a way for you to install a roof rack on your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, but it involves using the SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B vacuum cups as opposed to a traditional-style fit kit system like you are looking at with the Rhino-Rack # DS1375B. The SeaSucker seems a little unconventional but the vacuum cups are definitely sturdy enough to handle the same types of loads and applications that other roof racks are usually used for. Each cup has a pull strength of 210 lbs and 6 of them are...
view full answer... - Warranty and Strength of SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof RackThe SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B referenced in your question uses 6 vacuum cups that can mount anywhere on your vehicle's roof. The roof rack comes with a 1-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. The vacuum cups are incredibly strong and each individual cup has a pull strength rating of 210 pounds. Just to give you an idea of how strong these units are and how firmly they will attach to a vehicle, I have included a video in which a VW bus is actually lifted off...

I have not seen any reviews or feedback stating that this system has failed for any customer. The vacuum cups are extremely strong and each of the 6 cups have a pull strength of 210lbs. The weight capacity of the whole system is 150lbs which is in line with typical roof rack weight capacities. I think this is a great route for...

- Recommended Crossbars for a 2010 Cadillac CTS WagonSounds like you need a set of crossbars. To attach a pair to your 2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon, I recommend the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails item # C18118. These will clamp directly to the raised roof rails on your CTS. They have a 150 lbs capacity 53-3/8" long x 2-1/8" wide x 7/8" tall. Please note that these are only designed for the Cadillac CTS's that came from the factory with raised rails running along the topside of the roof.

However, we recommend taking it off the roof whenever you can because it will increase the longevity of the vacuum cups if it avoids the elements or dust/debris.

I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

The SeaSucker bars are 1-1/4 inch thick whereas Yakima bars are 1-1/8 inch thick. This means you wouldn't be able to use Yakima bars with this roof rack.
