problem #1

Sep 302007

Malibu 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles
Clear portions of both driver and passenger side dual colored (I.e. clear/red) tail-light lenses have succumbed to spontaneous appearance of cracks. Cracks are largely parallel and do not yet completely reach the outer surface. Conjecture: Appears as though possibly due to differential expansion/contraction of surrounding red plastic portion of lens.
