Sorry for your mishap. I had a similar thing happen to me too except did not get scratches on my machine. I now put my machine in a soft, rolling case (purchased at Hancock's with a coupon) and then into a shallow Rubbermaid tub that is about 10 inches tall, and then into the back end of my Yukon XL. It doesn't move back there. You might try this. Hope it works for you. LOL
