I thought I would share a few photos, video, and first impressions of using this setup with our unusual cargo box. Tesla's roof rack crossbars are great, but they won't fit the box we have and a big perk with the monkey bars is that you can carry them around with you inside the car until you need to use them. I bought the bars second-hand, so after cleaning the suction cups and re-lubing the plungers, pressure seemed to hold just fine. Tested for a week with the box on top (empty). Wind noise is definitely there, but the two kids in the back seat will be even louder on our upcoming road trip.
P.S. I have no idea if this will damage the glass, but it's probably unlikely.
