    I have been through 3 of these in the last year.  At $10 a piece, I have given up trying to keep one in place.  (They are available from gowesty and bus depot).  Either they tend to blow off on the highway, or they are popular with dishonest Vanagon owners.  (Shouldn't that be an oxymoron?)

    Nice to have, but they just don't seem to stay put.
