The rope gets hung up on both of my boats. It’s pretty common to get the rope hung up on the racks. Haven’t experienced too many issues with it catching on my upholstery but it has happened a few times. Regarding the racks, if you can train your rider to pull the rope tight for a second until the rope clears the rack there will less occurrences of it getting hung up. It needs to be pulled tight as soon as the rope reaches the rider. If they wait until the handle gets to them, they won’t be able to get it off the racks. We always just throw the rope to someone surfing as it is so short, so it doesn’t get caught on the racks.
