SeaSucker Vacuum Cup

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

SeaSucker Vacuum Cup

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.


SeaSucker T-Shaped Tab

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

SeaSucker rubber pads

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

SeaSucker push buttons

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.

SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - 298-SX6000B

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (27 Customer Reviews)

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.



by:

Great product. Super easy to use.was nervous about using suction cups but they are really strong. Videos on trailer website super helpful.



by:

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.



by:

Still have them on my car they've been a real asset glad I got it



by:

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!!!!

Still works amazingly well

Great way to add a roof rack to your vehicle. Quality build and very easy on/off, works great



by:

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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Does the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan with a Naked Roof?
    I do have a way for you to install a roof rack on your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, but it involves using the SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B vacuum cups as opposed to a traditional-style fit kit system like you are looking at with the Rhino-Rack # DS1375B. The SeaSucker seems a little unconventional but the vacuum cups are definitely sturdy enough to handle the same types of loads and applications that other roof racks are usually used for. Each cup has a pull strength of 210 lbs and 6 of them are...

  • Are The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Compatible With Fiberglass Surfaces?

According to SeaSucker, all of their products like the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B that you have for your 2008 GMC Canyon are compatible with fiberglass surfaces. Along with fiberglass surfaces, their products are also compatible with glass, metal, and most non-skid surfaces.

  • 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...

  • What Kayak Carrier do You Recommend for My 2018 Toyota Prius Prime?
    I have a kayak transporting solution for you. You are absolutely correct in saying that the Toyota owner's manual for the 2018 Toyota Prius Prime does not recommend towing for your vehicle. With that being said, going against the manufacturers recommendations can be extremely dangerous and we here at etrailer strongly advise against it. It can also possibly void any warrantees you have on the vehicle. However, there are definitely some safer options for transporting your kayaks. For that...

    The Malone Profile18S Rooftop Cargo Box - 18 Cubic ft - Gray # MPG910 may fit onto the factory crossbars on your 2013 Dodge Durango, but you will need to take some measurements to verify. This cargo box fits crossbars that are between 1"-3" wide and between 3/4"-1-3/8" tall. The crossbar spread must be between 24"-36"; crossbar spread is the distance between the crossbars measuring from the center of each bar (see photo).

If your 2018 Honda CR-V also has a naked roof then you can use the SAME Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 and the SAME Legs # RRRLKVA, but you will need a different Fit Kit # DK284 for the CR-V.

    You can leave the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B installed even when not in use. However, we recommend taking it off the roof whenever you can because it will increase the longevity of the vacuum cups if it avoids the elements or dust/debris.

  • Could Yakima Crossbars be Used with SeaSucker Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B

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.
