Jiminy Christmas, What kind of person puts a bra on a car and then leaves it
there for several years?????!!!

Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the bra, IMHO.

I love the look of a bra on the Vanagon, and I think it really helps keep
the front looking nice.  I take mine off whenever it is raining, and every
time I wash the car, I pull the carpets and wash them and the bra with a
stiff brush and some Simple Green.  I then apply a UV protectant to the
outside of the bra when I re install it.
