I had an XPEL strip (professionally) installed on the top of my rear bumper even before I put on the bike rack. Because there is no rubber strip there, like most other SUVs, it would have probably have gotten scratched by my dog, or when I was loading stuff into the cargo area.

XPEL is like a 3M film and almost unnoticeable.

Think I might re-visit the installer and have him put small strips at the bike rack contact points.
