SeaSucker Roof Rack Review - 2009 Toyota Prius- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2009 Toyota Prius, we're going to be test-fitting the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack System. This is going to be part number 298-SX6000.These bars are going to be 48" long, and they attach to the vehicle utilizing these suction mounts on both sides. It's very easy to use and install, and it's great for naked roofs where you don't necessarily want to go for the full roof rack, where you'd have to play with the clamps or what have you to attach it to your roof, and it'd be a little bit of a hassle. This one is easy to install and it can be utilized with bike racks, cargo baskets, or cargo boxes, and it's just as durable.Let's go ahead and show you how the rear one goes on. We already have it partially assembled on our table here, and these are some of the other parts you're going to be getting with this roof rack kit. It does come with a spare suction cup mount, should one fail or be damaged, and it also has this other mount that's going to be sliding onto the other side of the bar. more

Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack Installation - 2012 Toyota Prius- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Toyota Prius, we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack with Vortex Aero Crossbars in black, part number: RRRS490B. Now they're also available in silver using part number: RRRS490.Here's what our roof-rack system looks like installed on our car. Not only is it going to free up space, allowing us room for passengers and pets, but it's also going to allow us to mount our gear on top of our car and not take up space in the cargo area.Our roof-rack crossbars are going to stop right at the edge of our roof, giving it that nice factory look. Now the crossbars themselves are aluminum construction and they're an elliptical shape, so it's going to cut down on that common associated wind, noise and drag that people have when they think about roof racks.One of the nice features is that the foot packs have a locking core on there. Once we have it secured for our roof, we don't have to worry about any tampering. If we unlock it, we can see the way it's going to mount to our vehicle. more
