Hi John,

        Please keep me posted on your progress and findings.  I played with them a little but it is too cold here right now to really do much.  I was hoping that when they said “snap In” they really did without drilling and such.  I’m not sure how I expected that to work but why not, my rain and wind deflectors just fit in with no special attachments.

Let me know how it goes and how you find they fit in the van wheel wells.
