• Roof Rack and Ski Carrier That Can Be Moved Between 3 Different Vehicles
  I have the perfect solution that will allow you to mount a ski carrier on a variety of different vehicles. I recommend using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B which uses heavy duty suction cups to attach to your vehicles instead of using a vehicle specific foot pack and cross bars. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars are FAR superior to other universal racks in terms of fit, quality and durability. These suction cups are rated at 210-lbs of pull pressure each to provide a secure fit on your...

• SeaSucker Vacuum Cup Mounting Capacity, Function, and Fit
  The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - Folding - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B does simply use the vacuum cups as the sole securing factor.

• 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...

• 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...

• Roof Rack Options for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with All Black Roof Rails
  There are only two kinds of roof racks available for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the e-group rails.

See picture. I REALLY wish we had a rack that attached to the rails you have like you mentioned but at this time we do not.

• 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. The Kuat clamps have a rougher mounting surface so they make a tighter connection with the bar. I have attached a video for...

• Is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Safe for Long Distance Trips
  I would just check the pressure for the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B any time you make a pit stop.

• How Long Can SeaSucker Monkey Bars be Left on Vehicle
  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. As for surfaces to attach to, vacuum mounts in general were designed to carry big sheets of glass and other solid surface materials, so smoother, flatter surfaces are ideal.

• Roof Rack For 2017 Tesla Model X to Carry Kayaks
  I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B for the Tesla Model X. The SeaSucker bars attach to the Tesla's roof with 6 vacuum cups and allow you to carry your kayaks when it's time to go kayaking. When you are done with your adventure you can remove the rack and easily remove for storage so the rack is not always on your roof compared to other roof racks that can be difficult to remove and reinstall.

  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. For a kayak carrier to mount to these bars I recommend taking a look at the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. These durable cradles can support 1 kayak when in the J-style position or both of your kayaks when in the vertical position. This is a perfect choice for the Monkey Bars because of the included...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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...

• Could Yakima Crossbars be Used with SeaSucker Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B
  Yakima round bars are actually slightly smaller in diameter than what comes with the SeaSucker roof rack kits like the part # 298-SX6000B you referenced. The SeaSucker bars are 1-1/4 inch thick whereas Yakima bars are 1-1/8 inch thick. This means you wouldn't be able to use Yakima bars with this roof rack.

• 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...

• Would SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Have Enough Capacity For Carrying Plywood

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.

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with the Black Hard Top
  The vacuum cups of the SeaSucker roof rack part # 298-SX6000B that you referenced are 6 inches in diameter so based on the picture you sent in the ridges would interfere with this kit installing. So you'd have to go with a roof rack that uses a universal style gutter-mount like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Kit part # RRVA150B-2, # RRVA-FK1-2, and # RRRL110S5-2 which is a confirmed fit.

• Can SeaSucker Roof Rack Be Used in Cold Weather Climates
  We've asked SeaSucker in the past about using their racks like the # 298-SX6000B you referenced in cold temperatures and they have told us that as long as the vacuum cups are room temperature when you install them on the vehicle you are fine. They need to be pliable to seal properly but once installed the cold weather is not an issue at all. According to them a lot of customers use their roof racks for carrying their gear for extreme snow sports so they can withstand cold temperatures easily.

• Roof Mount Bike Rack that Will Fit SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack
  The bike rack that you see in the video for the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B is the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail # RBC035.
