I took it off tonight, and found no scratches, denting, or anything. It did leave some slight marks on the rubber along the sides of the roof. Not the rubber seals for the windows, but the long 1" wide strips that cover a weld (I think). Not a big deal and makes positioning of the rack in the future quite easy.
It came off easy, but not quite as quick as the yakima, since you have to unscrew the bolts. There is a plastic piece that holds the tensioning cam, kinda like on a gas pump - the little piece that keeps the pump on so you don't have to hold it. This allows less screwing/unscrewing for future installs/uninstalls. Overall I'm quite pleased.
Side note: For carrying cargo... should I get a hard-bottomed bag (like the Thule Ranger 90), that would rest above the roof, or something that would rest directly on?
