Will the yakima roof rack scratch up my paint? Anyone with any experiences with this?

Thanks

 

I didn't scratch my paint at all, but it did start to kill the weather stripping at the door where it touches the q clips. I took it off for that reason.

 

u have to get the little rubber pads, if u dont it will scratch the paint for sure..

I ahve the rubber pads for the Qtower feet. I guess I was worried about he qclips rubbing. I was thinking about putting some pieces of old bike tire tube between it to make a cushion against where it contacts the car.

 

i have an inno rack which mounts the same way the yakima does. it scratched the door frame on both my 05 and my 10 xB.
