I'm concerned about the ramp scratching the bumper of my SUV. I've got an Acura MDX and the bumper is black to match the body of the SUV. Thoughts????

It is a light weight plastic, though very durable. It has not scratched anything on my avalanche. It has been a life savor for me. Easy to use and good for my aging shepherd.

I've not had this problem. I have a silver Scion XA and no scratches. There's a buckle-type attachment to stop the ramp from slipping, and on the other end it seems to sit fairly firmly on the ground. I suppose if you drove along with the ramp attached it might cause scratches, but I haven't tried that!

My dog enters the car by the door on the side of the car, so the ramp sits on the car seat. If entering the car by the back, you probably need to put an old bath towel on the car bumper.

It has rubber grippers on the back side. But I always make sure it stays in place. It has a strap to connect to your latch "D" on the inside of your door. You will love this ramp.

It is possible. The ramp slides around but that could depend on your make. I have a highlander and it is not very secure. If you have a tiny dog it won't matter. If you have the mid to large dog that ramp is absolute crap. Get the little portable stair instead of this. Worthless product.

I guess it depends on how your bumper is situated relative to the door, but if it rested on it at all, I think it would definitely scratch it, particularly with the dog jostling it around.

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.

Hello Edith!Our Suv Bumperguard is a great protector for the Venza. Thankyou

I can't say with definate certainty that it does or does not. I'm very anal about my cars appearance (self hand wash, orbital polishing 4-5x a year, etc) and I have noticed a few light scratches on a rear trim peoce where the straps lay; I have a black car, everything scratch is highly visible. On the rest of the bumper I have no scratches. So if I had to answer this I'd say the straps might cause scratches but the actual bumper protector does not.

The ramp has a kind of sandpaper surface that does prevent slipping. As i said in the review, this scratches easily so it doesn't look great after a few uses but it does prevent them from slipping.

I didn't notice the exposed velcro that came on the bottom of the organizer before I placed it in the back of my SUV. It stayed in place very well! When I removed it, about a week later, it left pulled up spots on the carpeted liner of my SUV. I covered the velcro to keep that from happening again.

I agree with M.C the surface has to be smooth. my dashboard has a slight dip and I've had to fight with it for a long time before sticking it to the windshield.

Just put it on! It is designed not to scratch or damage. I have a Mazda Miata and CX9 works great on both!

I had a similar problem until I discovered that the rubber/neoprene had come off. Have not had a problem since. It stays where I put it and just leave it. Don't move it until I get a new automobile.

I was concerned about the case slipping off as well. However, after taking a ride for 1500 miles I never had that problem. I have a full windshield and that may have helped in some way, but not one time in 1500 miles did any bump cause it to come off.

That amount of furniture might be a little too much. It did my large SUV twice. It's a really great protector recommended by experts and I agree. My seats are light bone color and u wore dark jeans and the blue was on the seat! I too a damp rag with water and it all came off. Hope that hrlos

I own an Acura MDX...it sits below the rear lights and will depend on how much you plan to stack on it.

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.

Should be now problem. Does not attach to bumper. May be slight gap between bumber and skid plate. Love mine.

Our car has a sunroof and we didn't have a problem. The only problem we had was that we didn't buy the blanket to go underneath the roof bag, we ended up having scuff marks on the car due to that, our fault.

I've had no problems with that. You could put a coating on them, or place a piece of rubber under them if desired. My suggestion is to make sure that the area that you place the hooks is clean first so dirt doesn't cause a scratch. I've used this on two of my cars without any issues.

I put it on my car and did not scratch my car. I had to get a cloth towel to protect a pedal from scratching my car. I put it on a miata and the pedal gets to close to the trunk.

Absolutely. Mine looks great on bumper. Very sticky so make sure it goes on right where you want it ;-)
