Other I20n upper rear brake light
- Thread starter Jni20
- Start date
Just an observation: I recently got around to moisturising (for the first time) the externally exposed two joined black rubber tubes and two rectangular grommets that pass the rear window washer fluid to the cracking part of the rear top brake light. When the hatch is opened the amount of pressure exerted by those rubber components via the rubber tubing on the brake light seems to have been substantially reduced, more so than I was expecting, with all of them becoming noticeably more flexible.
Perhaps regularly making the above hoses and grommets much more supple might be a simple way of lengthening the time between having to replace the brake light . . . in addition to lengthening the lifetime of those rubber components themselves.

I used Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant, Dash & Trim Restorer - but I would imagine any similar type of product would produce a similar result. Naturally, the potential extent of the improvement depends upon how dry and hard the rubber fittings were before being treated. All of the rubber and vinyl on my i20N was very dry even when I got it new about a year ago (the vinyl around the front seats is still becoming more supple and just now starting to feel nice and flexible after about half a dozen treatments over the last year, for example).
