The grit can get under the straps and scratch the paintwork.
Seak soft roof racks review.
As for denting the roof i never had any problems when i used to use them.
This kayak roof rack is reminiscent of the type i used on my old dodge intrepid.
No obvious signs of wear after near daily use.
One tip make sure to take the rack off if rain or snow is planned the straps tend to wick water in through the car and can leave your upholstery a bit soggy.
And if you don t want to invest in a permanent roof rack or your car just isn t compatible you ve only got one option a soft rack.
Foam is firm and compresses only slightly even with a 9 foot kayak on board.
I always feel like the load is secure with this soft rack.
While they re simplistic they do work extremely well and they re cheap.
