A bra should never be left on indefinitely. Moisture and debris will get
behind it and destroy the paint. Except for reducing stone chips, they
usually do more harm than good.

Subject: car bra mildew

i have a question for everyone who has a "bra" clothing the front ends
of their vanagons:

i recently relocated my van to the seattle area from california and
have noticed some greenish mold / mildew accumulating on the fabric
parts of the bra. a look between the bra and the body shows some scuzzy
stuff too. is there any threat to the surface of the van to leave the
bra on indefinitely throughout the rainy season (which is loooong in
seattle)? also, what is the best way to clean the bra? any tips /
tricks would be welcome!

thanks!
