The Florida sun has destroyed all four of my bumper strut covers and they are in various stages of falling off. Has any else had this happen? and what did you use to replace them? I was thinking of plastic rain gutter drain tubes, but they seem to small. Help!

Never seen them fail before. I'd think you could just post a wanted thread on this forum, and someone will have a very nice gently used set for you. The ones that were on my old '88 Omni were in excellent condition, I think I had to trim them a bit when I did the bumper tuck.

I had the same problem, as did my my previous 2 L-bodies. Florida is harsh on plastic, mine crumbled off.
