The extenders that connect the rack to the for use a cam lock and that is what chews up all of the coating. Even just trying out a couple of different test fittings created additional damage. At least it is aluminium and won’t rust. And it also helps that I don’t give a shit about the aesthetics; I have a cargo bike kickstand on my bike FFS. Some scratches on the rack are not going to bother me at all.
Anyway. You need to chop that extra bit off the extenders and then tidy up the sharp bits with a Dremel. I did one side at a time. But beware, the final look ain’t pretty.
