The lengths some of you people will go to "fix" your car, and for what? The part to fix it right is ~$8. It lasted for SIX YEARS but somehow that is long enough? And you expect the zip tie/e-clip to last longer? To save $8??? Your wife's safety is worth $8?
Some of you shadetrees just need to suck it up and realize that sometime it really is OK to visit the parts department.
