Adhesive Back Rubber Bumpers
Do you pad your bike rack?
If nothing else, I am boosting the points of you same 5 people that answer my zillions of newbie questions! So here is another.
I got the Saris Bones 2 bike rack today and so far it seems like it will do the trick beautifully. My question is, does anyone pad the little clips? The “bones” themselves have awesome rubber pads for contact with the back windshield/bumper, but the clips themselves seem like they would scratch things up.
Anyone use that rack and use any kind of rubber inserts on the clips? Is the little laminate they put on the clips enough to save your car’s paint job? I’d rather ask now and see what people have done, than just dive in and end up with 4-6 clip marks all over my car’s paint job. I’d also hate to go through all the trouble of putting adhesive rubber pads (those little 1/8th inch thick “tape rubber”) on all the clips when it is over kill.
Any ideas?
Im guessing about 5-10 min before both Bob A and Soccerref have answered.
I had that same rack. Awesome. No padding is needed. They’ll likely slip if you do pad them.
