Do you need an extra cover to prevent scratches on the roof of your car?

We used a couple of old beach towels to lay down first then put the carrier on top of that. We have a moonroofand it worked out just fine and no scratches occurred.

These do a fine job, but it sounds like you need something a bit more protective. Look at the WeatherTech offerings.

There are 1/4" thick fitted rubber pads for the base of the towers that sit on the roof. There isn't any padding on the clamps. If you have them adjusted right, there shouldn't be any movement and thus no scratches on your vehicle. I carry two kayaks on my 2014 Ford Escape and they work great. Hope that helps.

No it doesn't come with anything like that and it doesn't need one. It has a rubberized coating on it so it doesn't scratch.

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 don't think you can get A extra cover, you have two options: 1, trace the old cover bottom and get some fabric and cut it out, to secure it use Velcro if your not that handy will elastic bottom. 2nd option is buy a new one

This covers the whole roof. But it is a fantastic cover. I'm planing on buying another one.

I don't know. Mine has a roof which has a scratcher atop the roof, so I do not have need of another sort of scratcher.

Yes, but don't expect invisibility. If the scratch is wide the material will fill but still be visible. No reflections, but still there. cheaper than a windshield or a deductable

You have to have something to secure it to. My Honda Odyssey had two roof rails and it was fine

No its just vinyl material and its probably not a big enough peice to cover the roof

its been with me for almost a year now. i made my own cover. things are fine with me, no rust. i reccomend that you make a thik cover to prevent it from heat and rain.

Yes, it will fit your car. You do want to make sure that it fits as flat as possible on the roof of your vehicle. Put the bag on the car and then fill it. Make sure that you do not have any excess material if you are not able to fill the carrier full since this may cause damage to the carrier if the material flaps in the wind. To eliminate excess material, pack the carrier full. If unable to pack full, fill the front corners of the carrier, smooth the top and pull the excess material down over the sides. Hold the excess material securely in place with the carrier's straps.

I didn't purchase either of them and personally I don't think you need them. If you're driving a $50,000 vehicle and don't want marks on your roof over extended use and time, you may want the mat though.

I bought a cover for mine and keep it covered when not in use. Mine still looks new after almost a year.

This probably is not the cover to buy.. But if you already bought it (like I did) you need bungee cords. There are two grommets. You can run a cord or two from one side to the other, under the car. For the front and back, take 3 or 4 of these bunggees and connect them in a cirlce for each end of the car (around the hood and trunk). Make sure there is no metal on the hooks though. You should have 3 areas where the cords are securing the cover down... It works.
