Seasucker roof rack
The Seasucker system (monkey bars) is working well so far.

yes! And I sink the poor thing, but it's more useable than my kite board in the small lake/fickle wind here. I'm leery of carrying my paddleboard as that thing is a Queen Mary.

No it just uses suction cups, nothing to install.

in that photo with the skis or anyone who's mounted a bike, is there a way to open the back hatch or do you have to toss your luggage/bag in from the passenger compartment?

You can keep the sea sucker attached - but you do need to open the key lock on the rear-most one to allow the ski’s a bit of space to move. We ended up taking the ski’s in each night anyway so it wasn’t really a problem.
I think you could mount both on the roof too. I was worried about the carbon fibre leaking in air - but the suction pads are so large it wasn’t an issue in the end. |

I mount both sets of pads on the roof - important to have large surface board as level as possible to minimize wind resistance. No issues w clearance for doors or hatch (when board is off)

I have a 2019 i8 Roadster. I’m interested in a ski rack and a rack for my 60 pound electric bicycle. Will the Seasucker work? I’m naturally nervous about using one of these racks in the Colorado mountains. I assume they really work and hold?
I would appreciate suggestions for which models work, Instructions, videos,etc. Thank you. |

The system works well. Not sure about attachment locations for a roadster. And 60 lbs could be an issue. I use my 4-runner for anything heavier than 30 lbs.
