I bought the Saris Bones 2 trunk rack because it's rated very high. And it is a good rack in that my bike is secure. However, my trunk is going to need to be repainted after a year with this rack.
I put socks over the "legs" of the rack which rest on trunk which solved that scratching problem. However, the metal pieces that adjust the straps come in contact with the trunk after the straps are tightened. This has left black marks all over my trunk.
Anyone else have this rack and know if I'm doing something wrong.
I have a normal car with a normal shaped trunk (Mitsubishi Galant 2001)
Thanks
