Did anyone have problems with damage to cars paint with the straps that fasten to car frame?

I've had no problems with this. The hooks are coated in a soft but durable plastic so no scratches.

Harold, I used the bike rack on my 2011 Prius and the car showed no sign of damage. I was concerned because part of the frame rested on the rear window glass, but the bar is well padded and didn't scratch the glass. I put two adult hybrid bikes on it and it supported them fine.

I didn't have problems with the straps, but I certainly padded my pedal and one tire as a precaution. The bike held in place very well, but putting it on the first time took 3 of us to figure it out. Chris C

I've used it a handful of times with two bikes loaded, and I haven't had any issue. The bracket is coated with a plastic so it shouldn't scratch.

I haven't used this frame very often yet, but so far have had no worries of paint being scratched or worn. I like it a lot!

I haven't used them and haven't had any problems. As long as the other straps are tight.

No, you take the painted ones off and snap these back on. I used two face mounting tape as insurance they will stay on and have gone through the car wash many times without a problem.

No, you are not allowed to use aftermarket product on your car seat straps. It can compromise your child's safety because the aftermarket parts were not crash tested with the seat. It could also void your car seat warranty.

Here is their contact info. I would ask them directly. (I have rust spots bleeding through my paint from last year, but chalked that up to not getting it all off, and having spray shooting up underneath from puddles.) http://bondo.com/contact-us

Hmmm...I think the straps would slip on a painted surface as compared to a natural surface. Your porch posts are probably painted. The straps tighten on their own fabric, but the surface its wrapped on should not be slick or slippery. That is my best educated guess, maybe you should contact the company directly.

The problem I have found is the strap does stretch and if you leave these fenders on, while cruising at higher speeds, they tend to come loose from the area between the toons and floor. This year I will be permanently attaching them so that they are not coming loose. I am in Lake Erie where there are times I am in 3 footers so if your in an inland lake you may not have issue. I like them because I don't have to store them or worry about putting fenders on wherever I dock since I have one on every corner.

Yeah they make some noise unless you tie down the loose ends of the straps. I have had some problems w them coming a bit loose when I'm driving at high speeds so watch out

No. I just got through taking a good look and the grips appear to be form bonded onto the handle. I have beaten mine half to death and have had no paint peeling or stretching of the bungee. The handle appears to be as good as new and the tip also. The only negative is that there was a little plastic stick on mfg. emblem on the handle and it got loose on a 90+ degree Georgia day and I took it off. The heat and the glue backing on the emblem did not mix.

I haven't had that problem. The paint on this grill is holding up nicely for me.

NO I have used for several years on many different cars and have never had a problem

My car had a spoiler attached to a very heavy hatchback. They worked wonderfully and I loved them until I got rid of my car. I recommend them highly!

Hi Henry,I've had these horns on my car for several months now and haven't had any issues. I've had my car through the car wash a couple of times and summer rain storms, so far so good. Mine are mounted and attached to the crash bar.

Never really had that problem, I have gotten it on the paint when I'm not being careful applying it, but it does wipe off with a clean cloth and does not damage the paint. Hope this helps.

No, I haven't had any problems. This car is very stable and has held up to a lot of riding in our backyard that has a lot of dips and hills.

It secures the bike pretty well, and the inside of it is lined with plastic. I would say to be safe with the paint on a rig like that, you might want to wrap the contact points with a rag. I havent had any issues with my steel frame, but they are way more hefty than carbon fiber.

I haven't had any issue with mine. I put it on after a workout and right before I get into the car and take it off when I get home. Wash and then keep it in the trunk. I think it's great!
