A friend who is a BMW master tech says the failure rate seems to be 100% by 100k, at least here in hot California....
Wow. Well, I'll see if I can figure out the highest quality rubber band at home depot.

Yeah, I get the heat. Dries everything out. I lived in SoCal for 8 years, in Fontucky. 116 degrees in the shade. Still not as bad as Phoenix was thankfully. Now I'm in Charlotte, NC and it gets nasty hot here but with a lot of humidity. There are days where I just want to give up breathing altogether.
