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.
