You guys with roof racks on your xB?
I got the Yakima rack as a dealer option, dealer installed, about a month ago when I bought my car. When I took it off today because I wont be using it for a while, and I like it better off, there were dents in my roof from where the rack was. Am I the only one with this? Is there anything I can do about it?

sounds like they get to fix it!
I hadn't heard of this yet, but it is quite imaginable.

If it is a dealer installed option, you can take it to any Scion dealer...wether they will question how the dents got there? I would just call the dealer where you got it and explain the situation....they SHOULD tell you it's okay to take it to another dealer. Good Luck!

Ill call em and see. They've been jerkin me around since I bought the car. The day after I took the car home I found a long (but subtle) scratch along the passenger side. I would have buffed it out but its under the paint protector they applied. Ive been trying to get someone to call me back about that forever now.

was the box used, and the rack on the car when you first saw it?
dealers oftentimes use 'upgrades' like this to cover up existing damage that they don't want to fix...

I don't think that dent was caused by the Yakama. It is not at a touch point for the rack.
it looks like it may have been cause by something falling off the rack or placed in a rack basket. The basket sits pretty close to the roof on the Yakama.

I didn't read the entire post... but what kind of roof rack do you have?
Yakima roof racks attach near the sides of the roof, not in the middle like that.
and even if it does, it shouldn't leave a dent like that.
In any case, I'd definitely take it back to the dealer... and you better do it soon, otherwise they'll blame you for it.
Good luck man!
