Got winters installed on the MDX. Of course they weren't too dirty (about half hour drive from the tire shop) so hit it up with Poorboys wheel cleaner and followed up with Gyeon wet coat.

I still like Sonax better for really dirty rims though.
Because normal funnels are hard to use?

Tried my new screw-in type funnel. It made things MUCH easier.
Picked up the replacement for the LS 430. You guys will roll your eyes, but I think it's awesome

No impact tell-tale, but a big star nevertheless.Browsing around, new oem assembly at a Toronto Honda dealer that sells parts online is 230$.wrench monkey has the TYC jobber part for 146 CDNrockauto, of course, has the very same TYC part for 50 CDN. Even with shipping and customs this should come in cheaper? I will first phone the dealer to see the local new part price, and see if I can find a used one. Two on marketplace are in Oshawa for 50$. If rockauto I'll check if I need anything else before ordering.I ordered my brake parts from them last month and wasn't impressed with their service at all. The pads i ordered were not in stock so they suggested another as a substitute and I agreed. They first charged my credit card for the original part which was just under $60 more expensive than the substitute. Took dozens of emails and at least as many phone calls before they finally credited my Visa. They never responded to any of my inquiries and the phone calls all went to vm. About 2 weeks later i get an email saying the credit was applied and a vague apology for taking so long. Not sure what the issue was (CERB?) but didn't give me much confidence and I'll never deal with them again. Figured I'd give them a tray cuz Canadian but not again. YMMV.Thanks for the advice! I'll check the Ody when the wife gets home to make sure nothing else needs to be swapped before ordering. No used parts pop up locally on search engines. New oem part at dealer is 240$ Edit: rockauto is 81 CDN with shipping, and the part is from the oem supplier!Order placed, 65 USD including taxes and shipping. Cheapest FeDex option has my part here in less than a week, not too bad! Wife reminded me she backed into the recycling bin, so I now have the full picture... (we have these huge vertical rolling blue bins in town).
