Consumer Description

THE PLASTIC HEAD LIGHT COVERS ON ALL NEWER MODEL CARS HAVE EXCESSIVE CORROSION WHICH CREATES A MAJOR HAZARD BECAUSE THE CORROSION DIMS THE LIGHTS BY AT LEAST 50%. I HAVE TRIED A NUMBER OF THE POLISHES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO REMOVE THE CORROSION BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. I AM AT A LOSS TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE VEHICLE SAFETY PEOPLE HAVE NOT MADE THE MANUFACTURES FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHY DO YOU ALLOW THE AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURES TO CONTINUE TO USE THIS TYPE HEAD LIGHT COVER WHEN IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THESE HEADLIGHT COVERS POSE A GREAT DANGER TO THE PUBLIC? *TR
