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

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: Jesse03/07/2022
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.

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.

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
- 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.

- Will the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Work On a Subaru BRZThe SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B will be a great option for a Subaru BRZ so long as the roof is flat and does not have any ridges. It will also not work if there is a sunroof in the way but aside from that you'll be good to go. The vast majority of rooftop cargo boxes will work with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack no problem.
view full answer... - SeaSucker Vacuum Cup Mounting Capacity, Function, and FitThe SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - Folding - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B does simply use the vacuum cups as the sole securing factor. Each vacuum cup is rated for 210 lbs pull strength, so this system is claiming 1,200 lbs of pull strength and they have been tested with cargo at highway speeds without issue. The strength is really incredible...I've attached a video to assist. For increased security and theft deterring, they recommend the window mounted cable anchor...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Infiniti Q60 CoupeAlthough we don't have a traditional roof rack available for your vehicle, we do have an option that would work for you. In the case of your Q60, the primary fit issue for a traditional roof rack is the fact that the vehicle is a coupe with a very short roof line. Since the front and rear crossbars attach using the top of the vehicle's door jamb, on your particular vehicle the crossbars would be very close together, too close for roof rack mounted accessories to attach to the crossbars.

If you are looking for a great basket for your standard/regular cab 2004 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend using the SportRack Vista Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39-1/8" Wide # SR9035. This basket is large enough to provide you with the space you need on your roof, but small enough not to impede visibility out of your front windshield while driving. It is important to note, though, that in order to use this basket on your roof, you need to have at least...

view full answer... - Roof Rack That Is Easy To Remove and Reinstall On 2017 Subaru ForesterThe best roof rack option to take on and off your 2017 Subaru Forester (or any vehicle) is the SeaSucker Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B which installs with strong vacuum suction cups. When you install the rack you simply press the pump several times on each cup to build up the suction. To remove the bars you just pull up on the tab of each cup. This is easiest option we have available. I have attached a video for you to check out.

view full answer... - Is There A Roof Rack That Can Be Used Interchangeably On 2018 Dodge Durango And 2018 Honda CR-V?Yes there are roof racks that you can use on both of your vehicles. If your 2018 Dodge Durango has a naked roof then you can use Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Legs # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK299. If your 2018 Honda CR-V also has a naked roof then you can use the SAME Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 and the SAME Legs # RRRLKVA, but you will need a different Fit Kit # DK284 for the CR-V. If your 2018 Dodge Durango has the factory roof rails then the only...

Unfortunately, the Thule Roof-Rack Fit Kit for Traverse Foot Packs - 1218 THKIT1218 will not fit the 2021 and the 2022 models of the Hyundai Kona. I confirmed with Thule that, unfortunately, they do not make any parts for your 2022 Kona if your vehicle has a bare roof. However, with that being said, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars have one of the easiest installations of any crossbar system we have on etrailer.

With this system, you will be able to attach kayaks and load cargo up to 209 pounds. I recommend consulting with your owner's manual to make sure your roof can support that much weight. With this system, there is drilling required. If you want an option without drilling, a creative solution is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B....

Sadly, there is no Thule component that is designed for a bare roof on a 2006 Mini Cooper.

Since you do not want a clamp-on rack the only other option is called a SeaSucker, which is part # 298-SX6000B. This rack has round bars which are 1-1/4" diameter and uses vacuum cups to attach to your Highlander's roofs. Many people are...

As long as you don't go over that 150 lb weight capacity you're good to go with this roof rack!

In general, a wider bar spacing provides greater stability for whatever is attached to the rack, whether that's your bike rack or your kayak.

Your best and safest option is to use a standard tent that goes into the ground to avoid damaging your panoramic sunroof.
