Sort of depends on the car and the carrier.

Pretty much sums it up. Make, model, etc.

Maybe try and put some foam in between the bike and your car and tie it down as tight as possible? Or a blanket.

You can buy a hitch extension which will place the carrier a bit farther away from the back of the car. You can buy these hitch extensions at trailer/RV supply stores.
