What happened to "caveat emptor"????? I think this guy is an idiot and does not want to accept responsibility for his own stupid mistake. ...or for that matter "common sense". (oop...forgot...it's not so common anymore) Common sense is that thing that makes you look up a couple of sources...

I have over 30,000 miles on my clear cap and it keeps on going. It has a visible "line" that may be a crack but it runs outward from the center contact and since there is no stress it hasn't changed in all the time it has been used. I have a spare one in the trunk and it has the same 'line'. I...
