Yes, I should have mentioned that one. 

        I have friends that use them.  They are incredibly small and light.  Best for shade not rain but they still offer a lot of protection.  Years of use and I would think it would have failed but it is stronger and more durable then it seems. 

I thought you had to drill into the van though but under the pop top area.
