Both items were cut perfectly and glued down flat. We’ve had no squeaks or movement from the flooring or subfloor over the last 2 years. Clean up is as simple as a vacuum or sweep and water beads up on the 2tec2 and doesn’t soak in or through it. It’s not the cheapest option but for the time saved on the install and the fact that we’ve had no issues with it, I think it was worth it.

We are installing the fabric now, and it’s working very well for us. We really like just having to do one gluing step. Corners are harder to do because of the thickness, so we can’t fold two layers together. But it’s easier to avoid wrinkles on the flat surfaces.

Love the extra protection these fender flares provide on my Metris. Also, they look fantastic IMO. If you're super OCD, you might not like the way the edges of the flares do not mate up with the body work of your van as the double sided 3M tape makes them raised about a 1/16th of an inch.

It came with no instructions but they are available on line. Thanks to the few that have done videos it was an easy install. One thing not mentioned in instructions or videos is that the plastic skirt on my 2018 T250 hooks on the original locator posts. I will either have to cut off the posts or trim the skirt. If you want the seat to swivel this is the way to do it.

Installation went smoothly except for the first strut - it was a little long and it was very hard for me to flex the hood up enough to get it on. Once on it held the hood up so the other side was easy, In use it makes lifting the hood easy compared to before. I like the kit and am glad I got it and installed it - a little overpriced but definitely worth it.

I love the look, and how lined up the product assembles together. What I didn’t like is that they don’t u strict you to take off end caps and plastic slicers between OEM rail rack on sprinter to make it lay flush.
