Have you compiled a list of approved vans yet? We are eager to get the new logos on our Dodge Sprinter Van. We are about to buy another sprinter, and would love to get that outfitted as well.
Looks Great. Is there a logo plan for our new full size express cargo vans with a window in the sliding door?
I hope the 99 astro is ok. It has 1 big window on the passanger side were the door slides open.

Dito for me Mike.
We have 2 Ford E-150s, one is ok with no windows on the passenger side doors, however the other does. I spoke with the local Sign-a-Rama guru and he said they can cover glass ok and it will last if it is perforated. Like the ads on glass with comercial buses. He said it is a special package for glass and then it can be seen through from the inside for safety purposes.
To replace the door is supposed like $500. I also asked about how forgiving the vinyl is with respect and he said rather forgiving from small dings and minor dents.
Of course, my main problem is the fact that the van is three years old and if the wrap will last 7 years…will the van last that long? And how about future mishaps with the wrap, ie: scratches, scraping by individuals by accident or on purpose, dings and dents and the damage to the vinyl and the resultant dapamge of carwashes to the damaged area(s)…claim on my insurance and see my premiums go up, Replace for $600/side (I hope), meaning I hope I would not have to purchase an entire package if only one side is damaged.
Personally, I would have hoped we could have had a van logo package easily installed by any one and kept the consistency within corporate hands…only consistent.
Buy a new van or wrap and hope?

I guess I’m looking at the same thing – I have a 2005 Chevy Express with windows in the doors on the passenger side. No way I can trade this van and not lose big-time. To replace the doors? Like you said, very pricey. I’m going for just installing the package over those two windows I guess. Don’t really think there’s a choice at this point because I can’t sell or trade this van without a great loss!! Wish there could have been an alternate package for the passenger sides – at least for a few years down the road! However, with that said, I still can’t wait to get the new package installed – it looks really good!
Jeff,
Everyone is looking at the same thing! Unless they just happened to buy a windowless van recently.
My pricing thusfar is about $500 for a windowless side, rear door. Remember, they will not cover glass well. The ONLY problem I have had with my vinyl thusfar was on the rear glass.
I think I have to replace the side door with a solid panel door.
are the rear windows mandatory? there kinda useless with all the equipment in the way, I will miss the window in the slider for checking my blind spot. Is it still a no go on the extended van?
thanks patI had my van at the Ford dealer to clear a service engine light and noticed a Windstar with vinyl letters on the body and glass with the dealer’s name. I asked how wel the lettering has held up and the guy told me that the van had 200k on the odometer and is a courtesy van and have had the letters on for years.
They looked all but new to me. The van was kept in great shape and used a lot, obviously, so I think I will opt for the over the window installation and pray. If it ever needs touching up, I will touch it up.
I bought the van with the side windows for safety as well. It is very difficult, if you are not used to it, to drive and back up in congestion without a side window…something that is lacking in Rexburg…congestion, that is.
This will force me to definitely keep the van for some years to come, but that may be a good thing in the long run.
