Agreed about the plastic hose ends cracking/breaking off - that's the biggest problem.
The big deal for me with the heater core is the defroster - last fall/winter with my heater hoses looped and no HVAC controls, I'd be fine driving during the day, but as soon as the sun went down and the temps dropped, I'd roll my windows up and the windshield would fog up almost instantly!
I tried Rain-X treatments inside and out (inside was a bitch), and nothing helped 100%. That's why with the RB25, the heater hoses are gettin hooked up lol.
