Why not do as I did:
When I noticed t-stat was leaking I didn't want to wait on FCP Euro so I checked local parts store.
To my pleasant surprise, Autozone had Mahle t-stat which is what I bought and installed.
Price was similar to FCP and yes, only 1 year warranty but at least no shipping back and fort hassle.
You should check your local parts store for good quality WP. That way you can see what they have before buying.
I agree. I’ve been finding a few decent parts at my local OReillys when I don’t want to wait for FCP. And I’ve also been getting some crap from FCP lately too. Rear wiper arm that doesnt make contact fully, crappy bent up alternator pulley. I do still use them for most stuff due to the warranty, but I was happily surprised to find a rebuilt starter motor at oreillys a couple months ago and happily put it in. So far so good.
