Anyone have issues with the push bulb stuff that comes with the kit? Mine is just falling apart. Picture is representative of everywhere it's used. Hood support, rear wheel wells, engine cover, etc. Not many miles on the car at all.

Tried gluing it back together but just made it worse. Going to grab some random eBay/Amazon replacement unless someone has a good recommendation!

I’ve had mine pull apart quite easily. It’s subpar.

Same with mine. Several feet of it had separated before I even used it. I bought better stuff from McMaster Carr.

Steel Rubber also makes high quality stuff.

Even the rubber hose provided that routes to the coolant overflow bottle got very brittle for me after sitting in a box for 1 year. Maybe rubbing some "back to black" or something on the seals would prolong their lifespan by preventing them from drying out?
