What kind of bike do you have?? You can allways haul the bike in the trunk or even get a rack for the rear to haul your bike..

If you put some old rags or some rubber pieces in between where the roof rack feet sit and the body, you shouldn't have any marks on the car when you take the roof rack off. I've had no problem with my Saris roof rack.

Your choices are basically Thule or Yakima. There's some old school stuff out there like TERZO but it's pretty rare.
