That is weird. I use fenders but I still wonder if it is a production issue based in how wet I am at the end of a ride and how the lights sit out all day.
I wonder if road spray has that big of an impact? Do you use them everyday wet or dry?
I have mine mounted sideways at the rest of my rack also. I wonder if orientation makes a difference.
I bring them inside for the night if it might freeze.
I have been having button issues with the old one but that is a result of the housing being cracked; it still functions fine.
