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: Johnny S08/22/2022
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.

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!

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.

- Is a Trailer Hitch Available for a 2010 Corvette Z06 with Dual Mode ExhaustThere aren't any trailer hitches that fit your 2010 Corvette Z06 but if you're needing an additional way to carry some extra cargo the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B might be something you're interested in. This uses powerful vacuum cups to secure to your roof and give you a way to add something like a cargo box to your roof. If you're dead-set on a trailer hitch then you'll need to reach out to a local shop to see if they can fabricate something for you.

This will keep your SeaSucker roof rack safe and secured to your vehicle.

These are built specifically for each vehicle, so you won't be able to use any of them. Since you do not want tracks or to drill holes, you only option is to use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars, part # 298-SX6000B. It's a complete roof rack with round bars that use suction to mount onto naked roofs. It has 48" of crossbar space and a capacity of 150 pounds. I've linked to a video review...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Options for a 2017 GMC Yukon and 2010 Honda CivicI do have options for you but a custom fit roof rack for a 2017 GMC Yukon will not fit a 2010 Honda Civic. Instead, you will need to decide which vehicle you would prefer to have the roof rack on or purchase one for both vehicles. For your 2017 GMC Yukon, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which is composed of part # RRVA150B-2, part # RRRCH4, and part # RRRCP43-BK. For your 2010 Honda Civic, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which is composed...

While we do not carry the crossbars that come standard on a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, there is a creative option that will still allow you to have crossbars mounted between the U-shaped rack you have (if it is still installed). According to some of the specs I have on the 2014 FJ Cruiser, it measures 75 inches wide. If you have that much space between the U-shaped bars of the roof, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars come with an impressive...

This can hold 4 snowboards and will work with virtually any crossbar shape, including the round crossbars on your SeaSucker rack. It is possible to use a fairing as well. You will need something that can attach to the round SeaSucker crossbars like the Yakima WindShield Fairing # Y05018 which is 46" long. They are available in different...

The roof rack comes with a 1-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. The vacuum cups are incredibly strong and each individual cup has a pull strength rating of 210 pounds. Just to give you an idea of how strong these units are and how firmly they will attach to a vehicle, I have included a video in which a VW bus is actually lifted off...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Kayak on 2012 Honda Accord CoupeThere are a couple of great roof racks for your 2012 Honda Accord coupe, though you will need to use one that mounts to a bare roof as there are not custom installation options. Roof racks that attach to your bare roof mostly use clamps and have rubber pads that protect your car's finish. If you did not want to use a rack that clamps there is an option for you, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This rack uses vacuum cups that securely attach them to your Accord's roof...

- Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2002 Ford Windstar Without Factory TracksTo 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...

If you are looking for a great basket for your standard/regular cab 2004 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend using the SportRack Vista Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39-1/8" Wide # SR9035. This basket is large enough to provide you with the space you need on your roof, but small enough not to impede visibility out of your front windshield while driving. It is important to note, though, that in order to use this basket on your roof, you need to have at least...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack For 2013 Chevy Tahoe With Naked RoofI do have a roof rack option that will fit your 2013 Chevy Tahoe with a naked roof. Unfortunately we do not offer any custom roof racks or fit kits for your Tahoe, but we do have the SeaSucker Roof rack # 298-SX6000B which will be a good fit. This uses a vacuum cup to attach to the roof of the car. The vacuum cups are very strong and secure. Each cup gives you 120 lbs of pull strength, so with 6 cups holding the bars to the roof, your gear is not going anywhere. This uses a round crossbar,...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendaton for 2008 Suzuki Grand VitaraThe versions of the 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara that have the factory anchor points for a roof rack should have flush rails that run front to back on the roof of the vehicle. This is what the Rhino Rack # RRRVP16 that you referenced is designed to fit. You can send me a picture of your roof if you are unsure and I can then send it to Rhino Rack to verify but if you have the anchor points this should be the rack you'd want. Otherwise if your roof was totally naked the only option would be...

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...
view full answer... - Will the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Work On a Subaru BRZThe SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B will be a great option for a Subaru BRZ so long as the roof is flat and does not have any ridges. It will also not work if there is a sunroof in the way but aside from that you'll be good to go. The vast majority of rooftop cargo boxes will work with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack no problem.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack That Can Be Swapped Between Different VehiclesSince every vehicle is going to require specific fit kits, there isn't going to be a traditional roof rack option that'll allow you to swap between vehicles. 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars for a 2010 Toyota AvalonI checked with a couple of different manufacturers and there is not a set of crossbars available for your 2010 Toyota Avalon. That being said, your best bet would be to use a universal crossbar like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. These crossbars are going to vacuum to the roof of your Avalon and provide you with an adequate set of crossbars. They won't be custom to your vehicle, but they are pretty easy to operate and manipulate.

Since you do not already have a hitch installed on your 2017 Tesla Model X, I suggest the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier, # 298-SK2425. This vacuum cup mounted carrier is for 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards.

The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse has two options of roofs: one with flush rails and the other with a naked roof. If you have the flush rails, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. These are aero-style crossbars, so they are compatible with most accessories while cutting down on wind drag and noise. They're 54" long and have a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I've linked to a video review of these for you to look at. To attach...
view full answer... - Is There a Roof Rack Option for a 2021 Ford Explorer Without Side RailsI do have a roof rack option for a 2021 Ford Explorer but if you don't have the factory raised side rails then the only one available is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B. The SeaSucker is however just as capable as any other roof rack and it is easier to install and remove due to the vacuum cups. The other aftermarket roof rack options for this vehicle all require the raised side rails which is the most popular roof construction.

This uses powerful vacuum cups to secure to the roof of your vehicle which allows you to get your crossbars in the best place possible. If you happen to have the flush mount rails then I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo crossbar system instead. This gives you more of that standard roof rack fit that secures directly...
