The nice thing about the factory style luggage rack that uses boot hinge 
and suction cup mounting is that it is easily removable.

Mine only goes on when I have need for the rack or wish to display it. 
Otherwise it is stored inside the house out of the weather.  I've used 
mine off and on for over 15 years now.  Used this way the rubber cups 
have not affected my boot lid's colour.

I imagine that if you put the rack on and left it on over the years the 
under cup and sun exposed parts might differ in colour.  I'd be as least 
as concerned about what the weather did to the factory type rack.

I waited almost a year for that rack to arrive from TRF so when it comes 
off it gets a fresh coat of wax & get stored inside the house.
