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

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.

- How Far Can Kayaks Be Carried Using the Foam Blocks for Naked Roof Set-Up at Highway Speeds?With your SnugTop camper shell on your 2007 Toyota Tacoma, the ability to use a kayak carrier at highway speeds depends on the carrier used. The Rightline Gear Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style # RL100K10 is not recommended for highway use unless used with a roof rack utilizing the integrated grooves in the foam blocks. The foam by itself can be used to transport kayaks, but it is not recommended for highway speeds. To safely transport your kayaks on your vehicle, I recommend...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2017 Mercedes E400 Wagon to Carry 2 Pedego BikesWe have roof racks that fit your 2017 Mercedes Benz E400 that have the capacity you'd want but you should consider that you'll have to lift those heavy bikes up on to the roof of your vehicle. So for that you'd want the # 298-SX6000B which has a 150 lb weight capacity. Then for a roof bike rack with a 50 lb capacity we have the Inno part # INA389 which would work great too. It holds the bikes at the wheels which means you can leave the front wheel installed.
view full answer... - Does the Yakima GrandTour # YA74FR and # YA84FR Fit a 2021 Tesla Model Y?According to my research, you either have a factory roof rack on your 2021Tesla Model Y or a bare roof. If you happen to have a factory roof rack, the Yakima GrandTour 16 # YA74FR and the GrandTour 18 # YA84FR fit your roof as long as your crossbars do not exceed 3-1/2" wide x 1-11/16" tall. I recommend measuring your crossbars to make sure they fit within these parameters. Also, in order to determine whether you can fully open your rear hatch with the box installed, I suggest measuring...

- Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers For a 2010 Buick Enclave To Carry 2 KayaksI recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B on your 2010 Buick Enclave as there are no aftermarket crossbars that are confirmed to fit your Enclave's side rails. This rack has a 150lbs capacity while only weighing 12lbs. You will then be able to use 2 sets of the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 to secure your Kayaks to your roof. These will fold down when not needed so you do not have to remove them from your roof when they are not being used.

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... - Roof Rack Option For 2010 Hyundai Accent HatchbackThere is only one option for a roof rack for your 2010 Hyundai Accent hatchback, which is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. There are no traditional-style roof racks for your '10 Accent but the SeaSucker will function exactly the same, with the difference being it attaches via its vacuum cups instead of clips. I have added a link below to a video review to check out as well.

Floor Mats Front - # WT97QJ 2nd Row - # WT58AV Trunk Mat 5 Passenger - # WT37AV Trunk Mat 7 Passenger - # WT22NJ These are all WeatherTech mats because even though they are on the high-end of floor mats, they are on the high-end for a reason. These are custom-fit for your Model Y and they fit like a glove to the contours of your floorboard. They also have higher edges so they create a type of "bowl" which keeps any debris or liquids...

However, with that being said, a creative solution for your bare roof is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B.

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.

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...

It's just like all the other round bar roof racks systems you see but this one it just super easy to put on and take off.

That is because the Yakima Q-clips have been discontinued from production. As a great alternative, the best and only option we have is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B.

We don't currently have a picture of them mounted on your specific vehicle, but you can do a bit of measuring to see exactly how far this would stick out. If you have flush mounted rails that run from the front to the back then you can measure across to see the spacing and determine how much...

It fits crossbars that are between 1 to 3 inches wide and 3/4 to 1-3/8 inches tall. The crossbar spread between the bars needs to be 24 to 28 inches and you want at least 16 inches between the rear bar and the seam of the rear hatch in order to open the hatch without contacting the box.

It has a weight capacity of 150 lbs and 210 lbs of vacuum strength per cut so it's not going anywhere. The speed you mentioned travelling would not be an issue either.

This will provide a hitch opening to support the T-Load. The support straps can also be secured to your tow hooks on the front of your truck. I have attached the installation instructions for the front hitch for you to check out. The T-Load load support should not interfere with air flow very much since the only part of the load...

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.
