Roof Rack install with PPF use 3M stickers?

[Noflash]

For those that have PPF and the Tesla Roof Rack, did you use the 3M stickers that go under the rack mounts to "protect the paint"? I saw a YouTuber did not use them as he stated his ppf was better.

Also, should this be considered a permanent install? Guessing we will only use it a couple times a year with the SkyBox 16 cargo box and/or ski rack.

Thanks, nf

I used them, and left them on after, since I use the racks regularly. If you have PFF on anyways, you might don’t need/want them.

I did not use the PPF stickers that came with the roof rack. I have full satin PPF and believe that's enough to protect the paint from the roof rack mounts. I don't plan on taking the roof rack on and off though it seems that many do.
