Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we're gonna be taking a look at how the SeaSucker Monkey Bars fit on a 2020 Ford Escape.

They are vacuum cup mounted, so you don't need to work with any tools, you don't need to use any drills. You just put them on your roof, tighten them down, and now you can put on your roof rack accessories. more
