Funny, my plastic is all in good condition. Except the radio surround. Never a crack in a grille.

Where's the "All of the above" selection? Plus, my damn rear windshield wiper doesn't work... Anyone have any ideas on how to fix that? I think it's not getting contact through that hatch strut electrical wire set up.

All the interior plastic grille pieces break like potato chips when you touch them, especially those side demister grilles. I reinforced mine with beads of epoxy on the back side wherever possible for a little added strength.

Hmmm.... let's see, demister grils, radio surrounds, center console, shift boot, screws that hold the rear hatch carpet up in the back, rear speaker grills. That's the just the beginning on mine, but I have gotten most of it replaced, or have the parts on the way.
