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

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.

The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long, part # 298-SX6000B, is your only option because the SeaSucker crossbars measure 1-1/4" in diameter and the Yakima crossbar measures 1-1/8".

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.

view full answer... - Can SeaSucker Roof Rack Bars For Mazda Miata Hardtop be Close TogetherHi Gerhard, You can put the crossbars close together on your Mazda Miata when using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. That said, the correct distance apart is going to depend on the carrier. We don't offer a windsurf board carrier for the width you need, but carriers will have a specific distance apart required for their use. So the crossbars can be close or far, but the carrier determines the right distance, and if the board is angled upwards, yes that will create a...

Ideally, the 6" vacuum cups would mount on either side of the moonroof, but you can mount them anywhere on your roof's metal surface as they are very adjustable. We have not tested this on your vehicle with a moonroof so I'm not positive if the moonroof can be opened or not, but it is very likely that the monkey bars, as well as any other roof...

Pop on the SeaSucker roof rack: - SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B This uses vacuum cups so you just pump, pump, pump, pump it up and you have yourself a rack that can hold a bike rack, rooftop box or whatever you need.

view full answer... - is SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Compatible with 2012 Honda Accord 4-DoorThe SeaSucker Monkey Bars part # 298-SX6000B are a fit for pretty much any vehicle as long as there's enough space on the roof and the roof isn't completely glass. A glass roof won't support the weight of anything being directly applied to it. So it'll certainly fit your 2012 Honda Accord just don't put it on a sunroof if you have one. I've linked a couple of videos for you. Definitely check out the one of the VW van. It's not the Monkey Bars but it's great at showing just how strong...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for a 2021 Land Rover DefenderWe 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.
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack for a 2020 Ford Explorer Without Side RailsI do have a roof rack option for a 2020 Ford Explorer but the only clamp on options currently available are for models with the raised side rails. Therefore, you will need to use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B which is still a great option just as capable as a standard roof rack. In fact, it is better in ways such as being much easier and faster to install and remove.
