Rubber Boots over Brake Bleeder torn or missing

I've noticed some of the rubber boot/hat for the bleeder valves on my 08 sport coupe are cracking, ripped, or missing. Dealer said they don't sell them (I call BS, but I can't argue with them all the time). Any one have any extras or know where to get them?

I brought my car in for some warrantee work and mentioned this to my service writer as well. He told me they don't make them except for new breaks. The only way you can get new ones if they replace your break caliper, which my writer tried to do. Obviously that didn't happen and mine look like crap. Let me know if you ever find any. Good luck!

Ahhhh! So that is how you spell brake. I never knew

In all honesty my apologies. I hate being "that guy."

Thanks for the link!

Most autopart stores carry a product line by dorman. They make all sorts of clips, fittings, and other automotive hard to find items.

Dorman Products - Search Results

Btw, as pointed above, BRAKES, not breaks!!! When you break your (not you're) brakes, you are in trouble
