This past weekend I swapped my version 1 to a version 2 within about 30 minutes. The file box was working, but I liked the cleaner look of the trash can bottom. I ended up going with a 7.5 gallon can from Home Depot. It fit great and I now have a completely sealed trunk.
I switched mine a year or so ago also.
I like the trashcan better too, much more simple and practical.
Glad to hear you telling these guys how easy it is.
