Go to home depot and then walk (don't run) to the spray-paint aisle. There they have quart cans of dippable plastic/rubber. It is the thick, rubbery stuff that you find on cheap pliers. You'll find it next to the chalkboard paint.
Its called Plasti-dip:

+1 for a clear tube that slips over the hook and/or heat shrink tubing

electrical tape wrapped several times around the contact points with the rack's rails.
Put the panniers as far forward as you can get them without heel strike, then wrap the tape around that place - now you'll always put your panniers in the same spot!

Leave the hooks uncoated, and instead cover the rack with vinyl tubing slit up the side.
That's one solution, anyway.

Are the panniers from Jandd? If so, call them up, they just might replace for free. They did that for me. I should really stop rhyming. I think it is all in the timing.
