I'm sure most of them work just fine, forever. If they were all breaking then Palio wouldn't be around still.

Yeah, JB weld has been known to break the bank. And God forbid trying to fix it myself.

Yes, they do wear out. Which is why if were not for the great warranty then a $2 cutter would be preferable.

JB Weld is not expensive. But if I were to buy it just to fix my Palio, then my Palio suddenly costs me 10-20% more. If you don't mind paying more then by all means. I don't see the sense in doing so, but to each his own.

Nothing wrong with trying to fix something yourself IF you are that kind of person and you don't mind. There are somethings I fix myself and some I do not. I pay for gardening service at my home. Why in the hell would I go out and mow the lawn if I have a gardener already paid to do it? When I made the decision to purchase a Palio I factored that cost in to the premium.

Answer me this, Dan. If you bought a new car with one of those schnazzy oil change plans would you change your own oil or take it in to have it changed? Why go out, buy oil and a filter and a plug, get all up under your care and get dirty, if you already paid someone else to do these things for you? It just doesn't make any sense to IMO.
