Is it safe to leave a removable Thule/Yakima roof rack on my car all year round?

Does anyone have any experience with this? I used a thule roof rack with bike racks to carry, you guessed it, my bikes this summer. Now that winter is rolling around, should I consider removing the rack to avoid trapping grit/salt/etc. and damaging the car, or is really okay to leave it be assuming that its correctly mounted and installed?|||If correctly mounted and installed, you should be able to leave that on for the life of the vehicle.





But if you are not going to use it all winter, i would take it off because it adds more drag to the car and you end up burning more fuel. so remove it and getter better gas mileage.
