| The roof has caved in on the van. the roof sometimes pops up and back down again and has hit a passenger on the head.the van doesn't appear to be designed strong enough to withstand a roll over. the paint is pealing off of the entire vehicle. i noticed this back in 1995 but wasn't appointed to this church until 1999 so i've never reported it before. *ak | |||
