Is There A Product That Helps Protect A Vehicles Paint From Roof Rack Feet/Towers?

Question:
G’morning. I have. A question for you regarding protective film used under Thule rack system feet/towers to safeguard a truck’s paint job. Looking for protective film that is hardy and covers the entire area where a Thule evo bar naked-roof feet/towers are placed on the vehicle to safeguard my 2025 tundra hybrid. Does anything like this exist? Thanks! Best, Ben

Hey Ben, welcome back. Yes, something like that does exist. I'm thinking an automotive paint protection film would do the trick for that. We don't carry anything like that here, but you can definitely find it elsewhere online. You can buy a roll of it then cut out pieces that fit under the roof rack towers. There isn’t a perfect pre-cut “Thule Evo foot pad film” that covers everything, but with PPF you can absolutely build a solution that helps protect the paint.
