I will take a closer look this week. When I put the snow tires on a couple months back they had plenty of meat left. But I didn't look closely at all eight pads.


I also spent some time on my rear light housings. I was getting "check lights messages" for both sides. Mine have a couple of the metal tab things loose, so I used a soldering iron to melt some of the plastic in order to hold the tabs more solidly, then glued them back in as good as I could. Then I applied dielectric grease to every connection. We will see if that fix lasts, otherwise it might be time for new taillights. It looks like both of the taillight seals have shrunk too, letting a bit of water in, but does not seem to be damaging anything.
