I used to have them. 3 years problem free.
Make sure your van is clean before you stick them on.
I've got a bit of a heavy right foot too.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

5 years on an Escort van with no problems.
Just make sure that when you wash the van you take them off and wash both sides of the signs too.
Bit of wash and wax protects the laminate of the sign, keeps it flexible and stops it discolouring.
Washing underneath the sign prevents moisture related micro blistering of the paint and a permanent mark in the paint from the border of the sign.

i've had some blow off too.

why not just get some simple sign writing instead.  price difference isnt much different and the results are much better
