I see a lot of Volvos with badly rusted body panels and I live in a very dry
climate. Roads get salted in the winter though. I notice more rusted Volvos
than any other make. /jim



Snip

On the Volvo, I reached into the socket with a Q-Tip soaked in WD-40,
swabbing for corrosion.  None.  (?)  I swabbed again.  No
corrosion at all.  I pulled out a Mag-Lite and had a look:  All of the
contacts for the lamps are made of stainless steel.  After 15
years in the rust belt, always stored outside: no corrosion.

If you want to make a *real* improvement on those GM parts, STP ain't gonna
do it.  I suggest you replace the GM parts, all of them,
all at once, with Volvo parts.
