I think most of the bags rub. My 3 bag setup rubbed 3
nice places on my shield before I knew it.
I went to the Depot and got some smalllittle clear rubber feet
thingy's and stuck'um in between the shield & the bags.
On the back of the bags, you can't hardly see'um.

Yes that will happen every time. But if you leave the bags in place, nobody will ever notice, you will soon forget about it, and all will be well again. I think the felt, little rubber feet, or anything else rubbing up against the windshield long enough will leave a mark........I have adopted the attitude of "who cares"...................[8D]
P.S. You can always distract the observant folks by adding more chrome!!!

Mine does it too. I thought about getting some of the dark window tint to put along the bottom to about the height of the bags. Should hide the marks and make the bags harder to see from the front also.
