That Rhino-Rack version adds mounts in the ditches of the roof. I'd like to think that mount would take the weight versus roof skin. Do you think that would avoid the damage folks have seen with the clip version? Anyone tried Rhino yet?

I've gotten dints etc out of cars before using a strong suction cup. A GoPro suction cup mount works well. If you can't source one of those, try a GPS one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Using q91 clips (Amazon) and q tower setup from yakima, never had any issues w/ dents. But it did take a while to get it to set right, just don't over tighten the towers. I traveled up to 85mph with bike on top with no issues. I readjusted the rack maybe 4x until it was where I wanted it.

SeaSuckers are your answer... a friend of mine's brother uses it on his FRS. Held their bikes quite nice and they're not cheap road bikes either. I'm thinking of picking one up for my road bike...

I think the denting comes from two things, one is the sheet metal is just so thin and the pads on the feet are too small so the weight is poorly distributed. The other is the weight of the bikes being transported, I'm moving two mt bikes so at least 60 pounds plus the weight of the racks themselves and between the super high quality pavement and the wind the amount of rocking is just too much for thin sheet metal to resist. I'd love to see a picture of the roof without the sheet metal on it so I could figure out if there's a strong enough point to put a permanent mount that wouldn't cause any damage other than the holes drilled.

Dang, thanks for posting that picture. I wouldn't think that area would be so sensitive.

DON'T use a strap rack of any sort. I tried and only got about two blocks before I crawled home and took it off. The smallest bumps and as the weight moved up and down I could see the leading edge of the trunk lid in the rearview mirror as it flexed up. The lid will bend for sure.
