I took one of my previois vanagons thru that kind of car wash. The brush that does the top was guided by a roller. Somehow the roller got caught on one of the roof "ribs" and flipped up in the air and came down and made a nice dent in the roof. Now I go the the do it yourself car wash - the kind with the high pressure hose and a foamy brush. Gary 88GL |
