Anyway, UV light has damaging effects on nearly all plastics.

So does mere age accomplish the same thing to all material, a little
UV just speeds the damage to some minute degree. Does that mean never
buy water sold in clear plastic bottles? No. Sunlight comes through
our kitchen for several hours every day for years and nothing plastic
has noticeably cracked or deformed. Relax.

*Just think to
the things that you've noticed had cracked or faded.
Yeah time will do this to everything. The faded part is UV induced but
so what?

Don't believe it
will happen tomorrow but it will happen over time.

Bingo.

Nothing will fail in a couple years. Couple decades and it will be
mainly due to age.
