<x-charset iso-8859-1>Yeah, the plastics become brittle, but not any worse than anywhere else I think... the rubber does suffer some, it just depends on what piece. They do last more than two seasons though. In most cases though, the weather is at least nice enough that you can replace the dry and cracked stuff. :-) Of course, I don't really like doing that in the 110 degree (F) heat in August, but everything is a trade-off, right?
