I had no idea this product existed, but that's why I like the idea of vinyl wrap,- it's noncommittal.

Thank you!

It's not that obnoxious. I could live with it.

Looks good. You should be able to shorten that crank handle to make it easier to use and store.

I am a fan of:
a) oem finishes, they don't look like an art fair project that DIY finishes often appear to be;
b) the philosophy that simpler, e.g. not painting, is better
c) not worrying too much about how my van looks. It's a workhorse, not a showboat.

Your van is wonderful! Don't sweat it.

Well done on the awning!

Thanks for all the feedback

I'm gonna let it be though I will look into shortening the crank. I noticed it was a little cumbersome to use so low.
