Yeah, that's another thing I haven't got around to fixing, either. My buddy who painted the roof has a bad *** sand blasting setup and wants to blast and paint the bumpers for me. Maybe in another 3 years. Maybe I'll try the Rustoleum for now.

Thanks for the compliments. It's nice pulling up to a customers house and not have a crappy roof on the van. I installed new rubber molding around the roof. Based on a review on Amazon of the Camco mentioned earlier in this thread, I went with a rubber from JR Products. It appears to be good quality and went in easy. It only took about 15 minutes, if that. https://www.amazon.com/JR-Products-10061-Premium-Insert/dp/B002UC2PNQ
I also mentioned that I changed a window regulator 3+ years ago. I installed an AC Delco regulator. Well 2 years later and only 9,000 miles of driving without rarely using the power window, I came out of a store and my window was down. The darn cable snapped. I replaced with a Motorcraft unit and it's been a year and a half and 35,000 miles of use and I use the window uquite a bit.

Eh, 3+ years …. what's the hurry … LOL. Looking REALLY good so far, especially compared to a lot of "work vans" that show up at my house looking like salvage yard escapees ….. keep up the great, tasteful work …. your van looks sharp !!

This van has been super reliable. The best vehicle purchase I've ever made. I've put 75k miles on it in the last 20 months with just basic maintenance and a couple cooling hoses going bad. I changed the trans fluid when I first got it and have been wanting to flush the trans for quite some time. I stumbled on some BG synthetic trans fluid on Facebook for $20 for a 3 gallon box. I bought 5 boxes and used about 5.5 gallons today using the directions from Mark Kovalsky found on the forum. The fluid that came out had 85k miles and wasn't that bad looking. I put some tarps on the ground since I'm the clumsiest person in the universe and I'm glad I did. It was an EPA Superfund site when I got done.
