SeaSucker Vacuum Cup

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

SeaSucker Vacuum Cup

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.


SeaSucker T-Shaped Tab

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

SeaSucker rubber pads

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

SeaSucker push buttons

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.

SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - 298-SX6000B

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (26 Customer Reviews)

Lightweight aluminum crossbars and vacuum cups create a roof rack for your vehicle with a naked roof. Durable, round bars install in seconds and work with most clamp-on accessories. Removes quickly for storage in your trunk when not in use.

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.



by:

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



by:

Still have them on my car they've been a real asset glad I got it



by:

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!!!!

Still works amazingly well



by:

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.



by:

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!

Best solution for my Smart 2 fortwo that I tow behind my RV... with a bike rack in the rear and this solid roof rack it is the perfect setup!



by:

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



by:

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.



by:

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.

  • 1994 Mazda B Series Pickup Roof Rack Recommendation for Carrying Kayak
    The roof rack I recommend for your 1994 Mazda B4000 is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This roof rack attaches to the roof of your vehicle via powerful vacuum cups and can be installed at any point on your roof to help out with your kayak. One of the best things about this roof rack system is it's versatility. Since it uses vacuum cups instead of the traditional clamps it can easily be moved from one vehicle to another if the need ever arises. Attached is a review video...

    The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" # 298-SX6000B is a very good option for vehicles with a naked roof like your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. 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...

    The only roof rack option we have for a 2015 Hyundai Veloster is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B which mounts via vacuum cups. Therefore, you can easily install and remove the roof rack as needed without tools. It is a great options for vehicles without any custom fit options which is the case for a Hyundai Veloster.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Jeep Wrangler 2 Door with Freedom Panels and Rear Hard Top
    Based on your application with the freedom panels and the hard top, I recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. The cups hold 210 lbs each but the rack is rated for a capacity of 150 lbs. These will work well for carrying 2 kayaks when using the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding # S512 and Expansion Arm # RRS512X.

  • Can I Use the Roadmaster Tire Carrier with a Stowaway Cargo Box Attached to RV
    We may have an alternate solution for you on this, but the long story short here is that we don't have anything that will make this work in the manner you're looking for. You're correct that the Roadmaster # RM-195125 would lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 33%, and not down to 33% so you'd still be able to carry roughly 337-lbs total, so the answer to your first question is yes- this is correct. In looking at the calculations, the weight of the tire would also need to...

There are no traditional-style roof racks for your '10 Accent but the SeaSucker will function exactly the same, with the difference being it attaches via its vacuum cups instead of clips.

    For a j-style kayak carrier that is compatible with the Seasucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B, I recommend the Swagman Contour Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed Arms # S65148. The Contour comes with 2 tie-down straps as well as 2 bow/stern anchor ropes with vinyl-coated S-hooks. If you want a kayak carrier that folds down when not in use, I recommend the SportRack Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Roof Mount # SR5513.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2002 Ford Windstar Without Factory Tracks
    To install tracks in the grooves on the roof of your 2002 Windstar you will have to have a custom installation done. 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 do have a SeaSucker option that woks with round crossbars.

You cannot interchange the crossbars. Unfortunately, we do not have an option to purchase a pair of SeaSucker vacuum cupps with only one crossbar.

  • Fairing Recommendation to Fit SeaSucker Roof Rack 40 inch Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B
    Yes, you can install a fairing on the SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B that you referenced. Inno fairings are great in that they can fit most types of crossbars so the part # INA261 would be the kit to use. This is a 40 inch long fairing which would be great for the 48 inch bars of this roof rack.

    I have some alternative ideas for you. Unfortunately the Smart FourTwo muffler runs right behind the rear bumper so no one is going to be able to design a hitch that works around that. If you only wish to carry a few bikes then you could use the SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B roof cross bars with the Yakima # Y02114 Wheel mount bike racks. If you wanted to carry extra cargo you can use the Trunx # TRX44FR roof top cargo box with the same SeaSucker cross bars. The really neat thing about the...

    You can leave the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B installed even when not in use. 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.

This is a unique system that uses 6 vacuum cups to mount the crossbars to the roof of the vehicle. These are heavy-duty vacuum cups that actually have a pull strength rating of 210 pounds (per cup!).

Therefore, in order to use a roof basket you will want to use a universal roof rack like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B which mounts to the roof via vacuum cups and will not require any modifications to the vehicle.

    If 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.
