This carrier lets you transport 4 sets of skis and poles or 2 snowboards on your vehicle's roof without the need of a permanent roof rack. Vacuum cups attach in seconds to the roof, trunk, or glass on your car, SUV, van, motorhome, or trailer. Because it doesn't require a permanent installation, it's great for transporting your skis 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 840 lbs of pull strength. Your skis aren't going anywhere! Additionally, the rack stores easily in your trunk while you're on the slopes, or in your suitcase while traveling.
Scratch-Resistant Vacuum Cups
The front and rear carriers are quick and easy to mount, and you can space them far enough apart to prevent them from interfering with the bindings on your skis. To install the rack, make sure the mounting surface is clean and place it 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.
Padded Slots
To carry your skis or snowboards just slide them into the soft, padded slots on the carrier. There are dedicated slots for 4 sets of skis or 2 snowboards and smaller slots for your poles.
Snap-in retention cords secure your skis and poles to the carrier. The cords have soft pads to prevent them from scratching your skis.

Quite an amazing product. When it arrives, you think, "Oh man, how is this going to make it the whole trip?" But I can tell you that I traveled from Fort Worth to A-basin/Keystone and back with no issues. That's 1640 miles there and back at speeds up to 85 mph and at least 3 of the world's climate zones on just this one trip.
It is best practice to give each of the suction plungers a few taps every time you gas up, but I forgot a few times and it still caused no issues.
Simple assembly with 4 suction cups and 2 of the high-density plastic racks that connect to each other with an included alan key and headless screw. Also includes the high tension straps you'll need to fasten skis/boards at the front and rear of your gear. When I say this rack was solid, I mean like I'd touch it to test for stability while driving and gassing up and it felt like it was sitting in hardened cement. Absolutely rock solid.
And, there's a spare strap and plunger included.
A couple minor things worth noting (but none of these could justify taking away from the 5-star rating I gave this product):
- The suction cups require a clean surface, so don't take this lightly. I took mine to a car wash right before mounting.
- The clean surface must also be smooth and seamless. I didn't notice until I started mounting that my truck has a grooved roof, so I had to put 1 rack on the bed cap roof. It worked great.
- I wish there was an option just for skis b/c these racks were about 1" too tall to fit in the garage while mounted to the roof, and it's obvious the height of this product is to also accommodate snowboarders.
Like I said, minor stuff. 5-stars all the way. You won't regret it!

Only used them once for a 4 hour drive to the slopes. Transported two snowboards at highway speeds for a majority of the travel. Mounts stayed planted and were still very secure at arrival. Nice to be able to remove to when at destination while traveling around locally.

After using this rack for a whole season, I’m very satisfied with it. Works exactly as expected. Very unique design that allows me to carry 2 boards on any car. You might be able to squeeze 4 if you can line it up so the bindings don’t touch. You do have to be careful mounting the rack on your car to make it stick. It’s important to wipe any dirt off and moisten your roof with a little mist of water, but after you do that it sticks really well. No problem driving 70-80mph with it. I really like having a sunroof to mount the front suction cup on because it allows me to watch the vacuum gauges to make sure that the rack is firmly attached from inside my car. So thankful to seasucker for making a product for those of us who drive sports cars and ski/board!

This carrier worked incredibly well! At first, we were disappointed that due to the grooves on the roof of our 2018 Honda Odyssey, the suction cups would not form a seal- the cups on each rack were spaced so the grooves couldn't be avoided. We had assumed the roof was the optimal placement. Not so! The instructions illustrated a placement on the rear window. This worked out even better! Much easier to reach than the roof. We were concerned about driving with an obstructed rear window, but using side mirrors and backup camera, we were fine. The suction cups do need to be perfectly clean in order to seal, so we brought a spray bottle of water with us on our trip. This came in handy for re-mounting the rack for the ride home. Previous reviewer tips were very helpful, such as getting a car wash before mounting, importance of checking for any orange band showing at pit stops (we had no loosening on our 2 hour trip), and lack of a lock, which meant that we removed the rack after unloading the skis at our destinations and put it in the car...no big deal. Much better than having a rack permanently affixed on a car soon to come off lease. We benefitted from mounting our gear the day before our trip in a trial run. Once we got the hang of it, we were amazed at how all four pairs of skis and poles fit in the rack, and the cover locked them on with no difficulty at all. Excellent product, fast shipping, helpful website! Thank you!

view full answer... - Options to Carry Skis with a Thule Platform Rack InstalledWhile we do have some ski adapters for bike racks, they are for hanging style bikes racks and not platform style racks like your Thule 990XT. There is not currently an adapter/carrier available that will accomplish what you are looking to do. We do have the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier # 298-SK2425 available.

view full answer... - Can The SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier Be Attached to a Vinyl Roof?I went ahead and checked the owner's manual for the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-SK2425 and they explicitly explain that the rack is designed to be attached directly to an unobstructed glass or metal surface. They mention that the suction cups will not attach over a seam or other surface incongruity.

Unfortunately, I confirmed with Inno that there is not a fit kit that is compatible with your 2016 Mini Cooper Hatchback (bare roof) that will allow you to attach the Inno Dual Angle Ski and Snowboard Carrier. However, if you are trying to find an economic solution that won't require breaking the wallet by investing in a full roof rack system, I recommend the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards # 298-SK2425....

This carrier will carry 2 snowboards or 4 sets of skis with poles. The carrier does not require a roof rack because it suctions to the roof of the Subaru with really strong vacuum cups. I know it seems like the carrier wouldn't stay on the roof but the cups have a pull strength of 210 lbs per cup. When SeaSucker was here they demonstrated how strong the...

The pad measures 37-1/4" long and it has a strap length of 86". If this is something you plan on doing fairly often then I recommend checking out the SeaSucker Ski Carrier # 298-SK2425. These use vacuum cups to mount to the roof of virtually any vehicle and they are smaller so they can easily be stored inside the vehicle or out of the way...

- Can SeaSucker Roof Rack Fit 1996 Lexus LS400 with SunroofIdeally you'd install the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B on either side of the sunroof you have on your 1996 LS 400 or just in front. 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...

- What Solution is Best for Transporting Snowboards with Bindings on a 2021 Tesla Model Y?When it comes to fitting snowboards with bindings into the Inno Wedge 660 # INBRM660BK, there is no way to confirm for sure that 4 snowboards will be able to fit since we do not know the exact measurements of your boards' bindings. However, a single board laid flat will fit as long as the total height of snowboard (from the bottom of the board to the top of the bindings) are less than 8-1/2 inches tall. Depending on the material of the bindings, they can be folded or adjusted in order to...

view full answer... - Rack Recommendation for 2 Snowboards for a 2019 Honda Civic HatchbackIf you just plan on using the rack for carrying 2 snowboards then I recommend using the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier # 298-SK2425 for your 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback. If you'd like to have a roof rack on your Honda Civic so that you can utilize other roof mount accessories as well then I recommend installing the Inno Roof Rack: 51" Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-2 Through Feet - # INXS250 Fit Kit - # INK684 This then allows you to use a roof rack mount carrier like the Thule SnowPack...

I was able to verify with Inno that you will need a roof rack to use the Inno Ski and Snowboard Roof Rack # INTX726 on your 2013 Ford Flex with the bare roof. They do not have a way to install the rack the way you see in the image you found. The Inno Square bar rack consisting of the Crossbars # INB147, Feet # INSUT and Fit Kit # INK263 will allow you to mount their carrier. The mounts for the roof rack are very similar in the way they clamp to the door frames. We do have the SeaSucker...
