Doesn't it scratch up the side of the seat and the console? It looks like it would scratch up the console badly.

Didn't work for me. Had to insert it between console and passenger seat (front) and my passengers move the seats a lot, dislodging the carrier. My console is, I think, non-scratchable.

I understand your concern and it was my concern also. Surprisingly it does not scratch the seat or the console. I bought it for my Son's '93 BMW and he pulls it out and puts it back all the time. I will tell you this, his car is smaller than mine and when he puts it in it takes up a little bit of room in the passenger seat. But it holds 2 32oz cups with no problem.

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.

Sorry, but No. It's made for the console. There are others that do attach to the seat. The straps are made to go through the console and around both seats.

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.

I cannot say if it scratches or not as I use foam pipe covering around the seat post.

Yes it scratches very easily. I am dissapointed and would not purchase this,unless you are very carefully.

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.

Mine does have a 3-sided rectangular zipper around the opening for the console. You can then roll up the flap that lays on the seat and it sticks to itself with velcro and tucks into seat crease. This way when the console is up the flap is not flapping around.I agree that the picture looks like it does not have the option. Sounds like there are conflicting responses to this question - so no easy answer. Maybe there are different year models of this seat cover - I bought mine May 2012 - was sold by AutoGoodParts which is different than the current seller. -contact the manufacturer/seller. Good Luck.

No it hasn't so far. It has held up really well so far, however the back cover does show a lot of scratches.

It's not very easy to scratch with normal use. But if anything sharp comes across it like a knife or something that will scratch it. I had it on my dash plastics in my car so it should remove without any issues. It might be easier to remove if you heat it up a bit while peeling it off.

It has not scratched mine. I take a small towel and wrap the straps where they lay against the car as an added protection . They have cushioned straps, but I just wanted to be safe

Hello Marianne I have the same issue but the engine cover is also sloped at quite an acute angle. The Hopkins console doesn't move at all. The grippy underside works really, at least on the carpeted surface we have. I even attached a book to provide an anchor for the included loop, but it doesn't need it. Hope this helps, Good Luck Regards Simon

Yes, my trunk is scratched on the sides from the hooks and I will have to find some way to cover the hooks.

It's hard to believe it scratches anything since as far as I can tell the entire assembly is plastic.When you engage the slim the rear wheels retract and it rides only on the front and a ball like object. This ball is really hard and could be causing the problems, but they'd have to be some very soft floors.

I looked at picture on the box and figured it out that way. I use a sofe piece of material under each side of the part that rests on the trunk to prevent scratching the car. Rather simple I think.

Not at all. I use mine a lot, and I've noticed no scratches on the controller.

I have had no problems with the under siding of the seat cover. We use it every day, and it does stay in the car most of the time, but when I have removed it to use the seat for people, it has shown no wear

If left in for extended amounts of time, the plastic around the slot will start to warp. I always remove mine when I am getting out of the car. It's not really permanent damage, and it depends on the set up of your cd slot and console in your car. The dust protectors made of fabric in the cd slot will get slightly deformed, but again this is not really considered damage. If I had a brand new car, I might think twice before using this product.
