• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2020 Tesla Model X
  The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B is still the best and only option for installing a roof rack on your 2020 Tesla Model X. All the information from Heather in the question you asked from is still relevant for your vehicle. Like using the cable lock part # e98891 and the SeaSucker Cable Anchor part # 298-BA0020 to keep everything secured. One other thing I would say differently is my recommendation of a kayak carrier. For a J-style carrier that can also be used as a post-style...

• Best Ski and Snowboard Carrier To Use With SeaSucker Monkey Bars
  Yes I can Joyce. The best 6 ski rack to use with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B is the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards part # GRR6B because it has the best grip on the bars. The Sea Sucker bars are smoother compared to other roof rack bars and some of the ski carriers can move around on the bars.

• Can The Vacuum Cups on the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Mount Vertically on the Back of My Camper?
  Yes, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars have a versatile vacuum cups that will allow you to mount them on the back of your 1972 Caveman camper. However, depending on how length of your kayaks, there will be issues if length of the kayak sticks out vertically past the roof. This can cause a lot of wind resistance against the kayak's surface. The best solution would be to mount the Monkey Bars on the roof of the camper. This will give you much less wind resistance. If you need a compatible kayak...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2019 VW Golf R with Naked Roof
  For your 2019 VW Golf R, there is not a confirmed roof rack fit from any of our manufacturers. Each door frame has a custom fit kit and they currently don't make one that will fit your Golf R model. The # TH145010 you referenced is only a fit for the regular Golf years 2013-2019 and e-Golf years 2015-2019 so it won't fit the Golf R model. My recommendation for you is to use the universal fit SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B. This roof...

  Yes, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B can be left on for a week. Here's what Seasucker states: There’s no set time limit on our vacuum mounts. It depends in part on the surface you attach to, the condition of the vacuum mount, the load you put on it, and other factors.

• Will Temperature Affect SeaSucker Suction and Is It Compatible With The Thule Portage
  The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B are compatible with the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier # TH819 because the Portage works with round bars. When it comes to the SeaSucker technology, you will not have an issue with temperature changes as long as the rubber suction cups are room temperature when you install the rack. You don't want to try to install the rack if the rubber cups have been in freezing temps and they are stiff. They need to be pliable to gain the suction that you...

• Roof Rack for 2020 Mini Cooper With Naked Roof
  While we do have one roof rack option, I checked with Yakima and other roof rack manufacturers, and there is not a way to add a roof rack that clamps onto your 2020 Mini Cooper with a naked roof. The only option available to add a roof rack to your Mini is with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B.

  I really like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B that you referenced for your 2018 Toyota Camry because of its unique versatility and ease of installation/removal.

  I do have some roof rack options for your 2019 Audi Q7 with factory flush side rails that run front to back. The Thule AeroBlade Edge system # TH7603-TH7604 with fit kit # THKIT3145 is going to be the option that looks the most like a factory roof rack.

• Recommended Roof Rack for a 2021 Land Rover Defender
  We do not have custom roof racks for the 2021 Land Rover Defender, so you will need to use a universal roof rack. For that, we have the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack, part # 298-SX6000B. These use vacuum cups to mount to the roof and provide you with round bars. They are 48" long and have a 150-pound capacity, but make sure to check your owner's manual to ensure that your roof can handle that weight. I've linked to a video review of this below.

• Adjustable Roof Rack for a 2017 Honda CR-V with Factory Flush Mounted Side Rails
  Most of the traditional roof racks that fit your 2017 Honda CR-V flush side rails install in the fixed mounting points present on the rails. This means that those types of racks cannot be adjusted front to back. But there are other options that do allow you to adjust the bar spread. The most cost effective option is Rola roof rack # R4002. The other option is a SeaSucker Monkey Bar roof rack, # 298-SX6000B, which uses vacuum cups to mount to the vehicle roof. I know what you might...

• Available Bar Length for SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack
  The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Racks are only available in the 48" long size, part # 298-SX6000B. There is not a longer (or shorter) bar size available for this particular system. If you can tell me what model vehicle you are wanting to equip with a roof rack, along with its roof configuration (bare roof, factory side rails, etc) I will be happy to make a different recommendation that uses longer crossbars.

• Can SeaSucker Monkey Bars be Installed on Tear Trailer to Carry Bikes
  Although the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B would fit they do make me a little nervous since your trailer slopes down going from the front to the back. These vacuum cups each have a pull strength rating of 210 lbs but at that slope it would put more weight at different areas for both the roof rack and any bike rack that you would use. A better option for your situation might be the Jack-It # LC429756 which mounts in the same location as the A-Frame jack and fits around jacks that...

• Roof Rack Selection for 2017 Nissan Juke for Roof Bike and Kayak Carrier Installation
  The various roof racks we have to fit your 2017 NIssan Juke with a bare roof do indeed have weight ratings and bar spreads that vary from product to product. All racks are shown on the page I linked for your reference. In general, a wider bar spacing provides greater stability for whatever is attached to the rack, whether that's your bike rack or your kayak. Wider bar spacing simply gives you a potentially steadier setup. For kayak transport 24-inch bar spacing is considered the minimum...

• Easiest To Install Roof Rack for a 2020 Honda Civic Sedan
  I do have an option for you in the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B but as of July 2019 there are currently no custom fit options for a 2020 Honda Civic Sedan. That said, the above will actually be the best option for frequent off and on use as it will take considerably less time to remove/install when compared to a custom fit system. This roof rack has a 150 lb weight capacity but the custom fit systems for your Civic will limit you to 165 lbs. The vehicle's roof weight...

  For your 2017 Winnebago Travato 59 K I recommend the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL as a convenient option to load your kayak onto the roof rack. The Telos Load Assist can extend over 8 feet in length and with the ratcheting cradles keep the kayak from sliding down as you raise it vertically along tracks. This can save your back and shoulders additional strain after a long day on the water. The Downloader J-style carrier is one with...

• Roof Rack for Fiberglass Topper on 1995 Ford Bronco
  If your Bronco's fiberglass topper has a textured or dimpled surface, or if it is now a little rough from many years of use, it will not be a good match for the Seasucker Monkey Bars Vacuum Cup Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This unique roof rack will work great on smooth surfaces but on your top I suggest using a track-mount rack system like the Yakima HardTop # Y01618. This particular track-type rack uses 54-inch tracks and 60-inch crossbars but we have more options in other sizes too so...
