Have you thought of "insulating" the metal bar - cover it with tape or heat shrink tubing, so it is enclosed in plastic and cant destroy the paint? In my country you would probably have trouble with anti-rust warranty in case like that (third-party metal touching body panel where it shouldnt).

No problem, i think someone else had asked about it before, unless it was you?
when i took it off to redo tape, and clean the car a bit, there was no damage to the paint. but yes, covering the ends of the metal with "insulation" is a great idea! im gonna redo the panels again soon, but this time i will have plenty of overhang everywhere. i want to be able to match the bottom body line all the way across. was constrained by the size panels i did these with.
