Invested in a Thule Bike rack yesterday, and noticed that the feet have a metal 'clamp' that secures it to the car.
Open Car door, secure clap by claping it to the body work - shut door.
Does anyone use any kind of protection where that clamp goes to avoid any paint scratches?
I appareciate the base of the Thule foot was the rubber pad, which is fine on the roof of the car, but surely something should sit between the car and the metal clamp?
or am i being a wuss and shouldnt worry about it?
its the greyed out area under the foot that im taking about, where it clamps on the door ridge - Thule do supply some clear plastic strips which look to go under the rubber foot, not sure wether to use these where the claps go
