oh yes, I did see that,
but I didn't see any split in any seems below the headlights.
Big trees are dangerous.......
they weigh many tons, and every tree eventually comes down. 

and that's hardly comparable to Blackbeard's situation -  what happened to Ron's Westy.

  re
  2: How common is this? (I'm guessing FAIRLY common, but want to confirm)

  I've never seen one of those seams split, ever, on any vanagon.

  Then you never saw the pictures of Ron Salmon's Vanagon after the tree fell on it!   Jeff
