I wonder if weather conditions (too cold or too hot (parking/sitting in the sun)) that contributed to the plastic wearing or becoming brittle and failing?

I am every wary of mine failing, but I can't just go out and buy one right now. I can't spend that kind of money unless I have to, unfortunately.
