Well if it's just oil, I'll try cleaning them.

yabut...how do you get the cover off in the first place? I seem to recall mine came off in about 3 twisted pieces. Maybe this is the difference 'tween you pro's and us shadetrees? Or...maybe that Tuscon heat makes that plastic come apart nice and easy?

Could very well be the heat since plastics don't survive long here...I've seen the
the plastic cover on the afm come off by itself here... and most of the plastic under hood is so brittle that you have no problem taking it apart...thats the price we pay for no rust... rubber moldings , weatherstripping , plastic and rubber suspension bushings seem to have a short life in the desert...
I would venture to guess that if i worked on cars that spent most of their time in seattle I'd have the same problem getting the cover off...although i have worked on my new next door neighbors 67 malibu convertible and the rubber on it doesn't look so good : ) and its from seattle...

So, when I bust it to smithereens, I'll just reach for the
