Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this SeaSucker Oval Mount Monkey bar roof rack. Now this vacuum mount roof rack is going to allow you to mount your accessories on a vehicle with a naked roof. So rather than having to worry about drilling holes or more permanent installation this system is going to allow you to temporarily install the rack on your vehicle roof. So it is gonna be great if you're wanting to switch the rack from one vehicle to another pretty frequently. Or if you're gonna be using a rental car while you're traveling this is gonna be a great system for you.
This does have the oval vacuum cups that will allow you to install the monkey bars on a Jeep or other vehicle with those roof ridges where the standard round cups aren't going to fit. These vacuum cups will install in seconds. They're very easy to get installed. So you can see we've got this plunger here on the back side. So we're just going to apply some pressure and then pump that plunger that is going to create that vacuum seal that we need for that nice secure attachment.
And when that orange indicator is no longer visible that's when you know that the rack is secure. And so it is going to give you a nice 165 pound pull strength per cup. And so with our whole rack system we're gonna have a 990 pound pull strength. This will install on non-porous surfaces like metal, glass or fiberglass. And so it is gonna be great for your rooftops.
And then when you're ready to remove it you just simply push in on the tabs here on the ends. That's going to break that seal and allow you to very easily remove the rack there. So very simple to get installed and to remove. The system will provide these two 48 inch long one and a quarter inch diameter round crossbars that will work with most Clamp On accessories, you are able to customize your cross bar spread so you can carry a variety of gear sizes on your roof. These are an aluminum construction.
They're gonna have a weight capacity of 150 pounds. But of course, you always want to make sure you're observing your vehicle's maximum roof load capacity. But they will very easily come off your roof and then they do screw apart. So if you want to collapse it, condense it into a smaller size so that you can store it in your trunk, garage, or suitcase when they're not in use. The longest portion is about 26 inches long. So it gives you an idea of the small space that this will fit into. And because they are an aluminum construction they are very lightweight. Our total rack weight is only 12 pounds and it does have a black powder coat finish to it. So in addition to that aluminum natural rust and corrosion resistance now you're gonna get that extra benefit of that black powder coat. So it's gonna hold up really well for you. Now one thing I do wanna mention because these are so easy to remove, if you do plan on leaving them installed on your roof while you're out hiking or skiing or whatever the case may be I would recommend getting a trunk or window cable anchor and a cable lock to secure these and your gear onto your roof and help to deter any theft. But they are going to be made here in the USA so you can trust they are nice, high quality and they do come with a limited lifetime warranty. So if you we're to have any issues with them you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But I think these are gonna be a great way to give you that extra storage space on the top of your roof without having to worry about more complicated or permanent installation. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Lightweight aluminum crossbars and oval vacuum cups create a roof rack for your vehicle with roof ridges. Durable, round bars install in seconds and work with most clamp-on accessories. Removes quickly for storage in your trunk when not in use.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.
Great product. Super easy to use.was nervous about using suction cups but they are really strong. Videos on trailer website super helpful.
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.
Still have them on my car they've been a real asset glad I got it
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!!!!
Great way to add a roof rack to your vehicle. Quality build and very easy on/off, works great
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.
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.
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!
Best solution for my Smart 2 fortwo that I tow behind my RV... with a bike rack in the rear and this solid roof rack it is the perfect setup!
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.
Fantastic easy to use site with so many options. I had questions so I called and Tracey provided everything to sort through the options. If there was an award for best in class customer service Tracey is the gold metal winner.
