We've used it every season for front/rear rails, and for the siderails on an offseason proto.
If the ends are exposed, they are vulnerable to impact.
Exposed faces can get dinged/dented, but this isn't really an issue (bumpers usually cover this anyway).
Biggest issue is the integration of bearings in the side rail. Traditional bearing blocks don't play nice with 1/16" wall. The clamp on vex/WCP blocks would work great though.
