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: 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
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
- What Suggestions Do You Have for a Hitch for My 2019 Genesis G70?I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, you are correct in saying that there aren't any manufacturers that have created a hitch specifically for your 2019 Genesis G70. With that being said, if you are worried about the amount of surface area that makes contact with the vehicle with a trunk-mounted rack, I recommend a roof-rack system. In particular, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. Not only do the Monkey Bars have the easiest install/uninstall process, they also...
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... - Can the SeaSucker Monkey Bars be Used on the Side of My Travato RV?Yes, we have confirmed with the engineers at SeaSucker that the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount # 298-SX6000B does have enough suction power in order to stay mounted to the non-slider side of your Travato RV. If you need straps to secure your SUP to the Monkey Bars, I recommend the Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps for SeaSucker Monkey Bars - 1" Wide x 10' Long # 298-SA0010.
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... - 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.

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. If you happen to have any other style of roof on your vehicle besides those...

- What Roof Rack Fits 1989 Mercury Grand MarquisThe only roof rack we offer for the 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis is one that attaches to naked roofs with vacuum cups. The cups hold 210 lbs each so they are rated for normal roof rack use but are very easy to install and remove. It is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for a 2010-2017 Dodge Grand CaravanI called around to our roof rack manufacturers to try to find you a roof rack. I have a solution for you but unfortunately they do not make any traditional roof racks that install on your Grand Caravan's roof. This is because the sliding doors on your Grand Caravan make it difficult to use systems that use door jamb clips. All of our naked roof roof racks use these door jamb clips because there are no fixed mounting points present. I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round...

If not Rhino Rack has an option that is a fit for this chassis which consists of Crossbars # RRVA180B-2, RLTP Legs for Factory Fixed Mounting Points # RRRLTPFD and RLTP Leg Adapters # RRVA-FK1-2. If the solar panel on your Winnie is in the middle of the rig and can potentially interfere with installing this roof rack another option to consider is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2019 Hyundai VelosterThere is only one option for a roof rack for the 2019 Hyundai Veloster, but it's a great option; have a look at the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B. This is an easy to install and remove roof rack system that mounts to your vehicle using suction cups that won't damage the vehicle, and it's compatible with most kayak carriers. For the kayak carrier, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878, which...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for a 2020 Ford Explorer Without Side RailsI do have a roof rack option for a 2020 Ford Explorer but the only clamp on options currently available are for models with the raised side rails. Therefore, you will need to use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B which is still a great option just as capable as a standard roof rack. In fact, it is better in ways such as being much easier and faster to install and remove.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Ram 2500 Mega CabWhile we have a couple great options for you, we do not carry a roof rack system that installs into your door jambs for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab. However, with that being said, we do carry a drill-on option. If you wish to go this route, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-490B. If you want to go with an option that doesn't require drilling, I recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B. Not only does the Monkey Bars...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-150 Crew Cab for Carrying LaddersThe SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B that you referenced has a weight capacity of 150 lbs and has a pull strength per vacuum cup of 210 lbs. Which this rack has a total of 6 cups so it would easily be rated to carry a 30 foot ladder. I'd rather recommend you the Rhino Rack Heavy Duty roof rack that is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ford F-150 crew cab that consists of # RB1500B-2, # RRRLKHD, and # DK427. This heavy duty style bar is better suited for carrying ladders as it's a larger...

The most popular of all of them is the Thule WingBar system with the 53 inch bars # TH711420, Evo clamp feet # TH710501, and fit kit # TH145151. The crossbars actually come in silver as well using part # TH711400. I've attached a couple videos on the bars and feet for you. The system installs using clamps that go in the door seams of the Accord to fasten it to the roof. The only roof...
view full answer... - Hitch Mounted Crossbar Solution for 2018 Honda RidgelineWe don't have any traditional ladder racks that would fit the bed of your 2018 Honda Ridgeline but a roof rack solution would be a way to carry ladders. Is that something you'd consider? Are there any rails on the roof of your vehicle currently? Or is it totally naked?

The cups of this kit are 6 inches in diameter which you might be able to fit to the outsides of your sunroof but you'd have to measure the area to be absolutely certain. Each one of the vacuum cups of this kit is capable of holding 150 lbs vertically so it would do a great job carrying a cargo box like you mentioned. The pull strength on...

It is a vacuum-cup roof rack that will attach directly to the top of your van, giving you a rack system with round bars that will allow you to mount accessories.

All of the other systems available for your vehicle use mounting feet that need to attach to raised side rails and won't work on a naked roof.

Also, from the looks of your vehicle, there is not enough flat roof space toward the front of your vehicle to flatly mount a cargo bag positioned toward the front. The absolute assured and safest way to transport a cargo bag is by adding the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B to provide a mounting position for the...

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.

While I know this isn't the route you want to go, I will recommend a bike rack that would work with that round bar setup. You could add 1 or 2 of the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 which will attach to the SeaSucker Monkey Bars and allow you to mount your bike(s). While there are no other ways to safely haul a bike on your roof, I...

Since your 2018 Toyota Tacoma has the fixed mounting points there are Rhino-Rack systems that fit. I recommend the Vortex Aero bars, part # RRVA126B-2, with # RRRLT600 legs, and # RRQMFK08-2...
