See above Paddy Hopkirk bike rack damage extensive caused by trying to strap on 3 bikes, 1/2 only with tape Ok- but still will not guarantee no damage.

Meant to say in fairness for the cost take a precaution; tape up the contact area with pvc tape then should

be a good chance if you fit correctly, get the weight distribution correct, dont put too much weight on the rack, 2 bikes maximum, one bike preferred will get nil damage.

Brian.

My Bike Rack similar to Pendle caused £500 of damage, actually crushed the rear boot lid on my Mazda 6
It was a paddy hopkirk bike rack, a lot worse I reckon.

Dont buy this type of bike rack unless you dont mind damage to your car!

The manufacturers should’ve been more accepting of the fact that they didn’t include a liability disclaimer which every product that provides a risk of damage to anything should have. Regardless of the steps taken to install/remove the bike rack, saying that “the user does have to accept that some of marking is inevitable” in an email versus on the product instructions makes them responsible for the damage.

some permanent racks come with clear stickers to take the brunt of the grit that will make it’s way between your rack and car. sorry to hear they haven’t been much help, good luck.

I have borrowed two different strap on bike racks. They did not scratch my car. This guy must have done three things wrong. First, most come with instructions that basically say, use only on smooth roads. Then you have to make sure they are tight to your bumper, and stay that way. And third, the straps to the sides have to be really tight, and as close to horizontal to the ground as you can get them. I drove almost three thousand highway miles with no scratches.
Also he most likely was ripped off by the person repairing his paint job.
