<Crosses fingers>  I see that the listserv requires plain text, so I
hope this works.  Please see my original post:

We are using UniRac's RapidRac, and wanted to know what people thought about using scuff pads under the racking system to protect the roof.  It seems that the sharps corners of the racking could cut into / penetrate the membrane under the dead load of the array and in times of heavy snow loads.  Are using pads common?  What materials are used?
