What milage have you done, just looked at my ladder and see no obvious wear.

We have a Voyager, not sure if the ladder is the same. Also have a little extra weight on mine as I have fitted a stainless steel sheet over the rungs to stop anyone climbing on the roof.

Is it where the plastic bracket clips around the side of the ladder?

Hopefully someone will pick your problem up Wink

OK. Guilty as charged. Embarassed

But how does that prevent anyone from answering the Original Post . . . especially since a good many members never read any further down the thread anyway, and just dive in with the same answer that has already been repeated umpteen times. Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Like your equally off topic posts ( Exclamation ) and this one, at least they bump the thread so it's more likely to be seen and answered.

Off to get a length of barbed wire for the self flagellation! Rolling Eyes

Back on topic we have covered about 13000 I think not much more without going to the van to check. The ladder originally only showed signs of wear on the non locking side but now where the locking bracket fits is showing quite a lot of wear.

I have never carried anything on the ladder or rested anything against it at any time so Swift are wrong in that assumption but as it is now too late apparently anyway I have posted this just to get others to keep an eye on thiers, I am thinking of taking off the lower section until time to sell as I dont use the ladder anyway.

As a preventative measure, or to minimise further deterioration you could put a bit of 3M paint protection film on the paintwork getting abused.
Originally developed as protection on the leading edge of helicopter rotors, its just like thick cling film, is fairly easily applied and once you start thinking there are lots of places you could put it (under door locks to stop keys scratching, on plastic near side windows to stop hedges scratching, headlights etc etc). It also seems to block UV.

I've bought from

http://www.lamin-x.co.uk/shop/paintprotection.htm

lots of times, the 12"*5' sheet is best value to cut up, or just actually put as chip protection on the bonnet. Their US distributors will supply in multiples of 5' if your bonnet is wider than that.

Its on Ebay too. Use lots of lubricant as the instructions will suggest, and remember it will stretch a bit on contours!

Good stuff! Smile
