I took one of my previois vanagons thru that kind of car wash.  The brush that
does the top was guided by a roller.  Somehow the roller got caught on one of the
roof "ribs" and flipped up in the air and came down and made a nice dent in the
roof.  Now I go the the do it yourself car wash - the kind with the high pressure
hose and a foamy brush.
