I didn't have a problem. I washed my car before putting them on and I would advise that. The material that these are made of won't really scratch your care unless you are careless with the buckles. Like I said though if you put these on a dirty care the dirt between the racks and the roof could certainly be abrasive and harm your car's finish. The hold tight enough to not move so even then it shouldn't be a big deal. I was a little worried about putting them back on after being at the beach for a week (sand and salt) but my finish was fine.

I've had my lashes on for about two weeks now and I just noticed the scratches on my paint from them fluttering in the wind when I'm on the highway. I'm a bit devastated because I have a fiat that's bright yellow an the lashed left black scratches all over my paint that will now have to be buffed out and maybe repainted. Wish someone had posted about this earlier...

We have not had any problem with scratching. We use the pan for lasagna and use a knife to cut lasagna in pan and have had no problems. The finish has kept the shine.

I have not had any problems with it scratching my laptop. I love the case. If by rippers you are referring to the zipper, I have not had a problem yet. I only bought my in August though. I also have a case cover on my laptop. The padding in it is rather thick, which is nice.

A dirty car? Not sure about the reference, but if properly installed there no reason for scuff or damage of the roof paint. I have put them on and removed a couple of times and there is a very small "mark" where the clamps attached, but they are barely noticeable and nothing that wouldb't come off with some wax or cleaning product. If you over tighten the clamps, of course you can cause damage, so don't! After all, the metal is pretty thin around the car. The tightening tool that comes with the kit has a torque indicator, so you can see when it is tight enough. You really have to over do it to do some damage. Hope this helps. A dirty car?

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

Yes a few months ago they where working on my roof and I got black Tar all over my good jeans. The roofer said it wouldn't come out and I just sprayed the oil eater directly on all the parts that had tar rubbed it and put it wash and when they came out they looked good as new. Needles to say the roofer is my cousin's husband and he already bought oil eater for himself because not only did it remove the tar from my jeans it also removed the tar from his hands better than the professional strength soap he regularly uses.

I don't think it would scratch your car, but the directions ask that you put a towel or mat underneath when putting the scatmat on a car in warm weather, because water spots from condensation could show up.

My wife who is somewhat short uses this item to dust the roof of her Audi A8L before going out. It hits the areas that she normally can't reach and we have noticed no scratches. She's happy, I'm happy. Best of Luck.

I didn't notice any scratches but my car was covered in Georgia clay at the end of the trip ;-). I suppose you could put a pad behind it for extra protection.

This happened to me too- it actually melted to the windshield and when I finally got it off there was a black rubber circle on the windshield. Now the suction doesn't work anymore. Be careful leaving it in the sun for long periods of time.

I have used these dusters for many years on very expensive cars and never scratched the paint. Just remember this is a "duster" not a washer. Your car should be clean and washed and only use this to dust.

YES, without question. my review is accurate, and the Roofbag was tested mult. times. and even if ...(and I mean the chances are very small) you purchased it and got a little water or condensation in, it still beats all other products out there. The only thing better is a hard body carrier, and even some of those leak (I had one). but then you have to deal with storing it. I still: March 8, 2014 recommend it fully. Jim Fiala, Downey, Ca

I've never had a problem with scratching but I don't put my machines on a trailer. They sit on the edge of the driveway.

Mine hasn't scratched...I'm aways careful when I put in the console. It really comes in handy - just not for drinks. I only remove it when someone is with me. Only suggestion I have if he worries you - insert a small cloth to prevent any scratching.
