I leave mine on all the time from March/April to about November. It went on early this year because I bought my new bike in March and I had to go pick it up from the LBS. My car is so low to the ground and it is so difficult to access the bolt that it really is a PITA to remove and re-install it.
I don't have an expensive rack though. It's an older Thule that I picked up on Craigslist.
