You don't have to drive onto ramps, you jack it up and lower on to them, put one ramp each way and it can't roll off.

That sir is a safety prerequisite. The one occasion that I attempted to reverse onto my ramps the van literally sat on the ramps due to the wheels grabbing them and pushing them towards the front of the van!!
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

Just to advise - got the new stainless setup installed over the last two days.
Installer mentioned 2 of the studs snapped and took a bit to get out, but all good now :D

I will admit I kind of wish I had done it myself, but knowing two of them snapped off, part of me is glad I made the decision for an experienced chap to do it.
