Bronz Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Not if he does it right. There would be no market for bike racks if they were bad for cars, but as an extra precaution place a soft rag where straps meet the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) If he has a towbar on his car, you can buy bike racks that attach to it, so nothing is touching the car.Get a tow-bar rack, there good!haha. Beaten to it. Edited May 20, 2009 by Mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Surely if they scrathed the car they wouldn't be made/noone would buy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 The bike racks that mount to the back of the car can dent the bootlid (On estates/ People carriers) if even slightly to tight.On our old citreon C5 the dent was so bad it looked like we'd been in an accident.Roof racks are fine, unless your an idiot and hit the car while fitting it or putting the bike on it.
