Where To Mount Your SeaSucker RackUpdated 3 months ago

Where Should I Attach My SeaSucker Bike Rack?

First things first - never mount your rack so that your bike will be sideways or backwards on your vehicle. That’s just not allowed in the SeaSucker universe. Deciding where to mount you rack depends in part on what kind of car you have and in part on what rack you have. 

If you have a Hornet Rack, that can only be mounted on the back window of a hatchback or SUV. If you drive a sedan and you have a Talon, Mini Bomber or Bomber, you should mount your rack either right behind the front windshield or right in front of the rear window. We do this because there’s more structure and strength in most cars’ roofs at the edges, giving the rack the most stable possible mounting place. If you drive a hatchback or SUV with a mostly straight up-and-down back side, you can also mount your Talon, Mini Bomber or Bomber to the back window and let your bikes hang off the back of the car.

Where Should I Attach my SeaSucker Monkey Bars?

Our general advice is to position the rack so that the vacuum mounts on the front and back bars are as close to the corners of your car’s roof as possible. We do this because there’s more structure and strength in most cars’ roofs at the edges, giving the rack the most stable possible mounting place.
