Yep. I used to have a T-Shirt of the devil in hell telling people, "but it's a dry heat". That's Vegas.

It's also only the dark taillights. The ones that are bright red don't have the issue.

It rediculous what they want to charge for some things. I used to work with a guy that went in for an oil change and air filter in his truck and spent about $200. Mind you, he was not mechanically inclined and was doing good to find the steering wheel and all 4 tires. I told him to let me know next time and I'd only charge him $150.

Rubber cracks over time, I had a battery last ~10 years in Connecticut and Minnesota but never got 2 years out of the best wiper blades. Cold/Heat/Ice and snow take it's toll.

That being said AutoZone installs wiper blades for free and they cost a lot less
