I see rodent damage alot at my dealer usually they chew up the wiring or get into the ventilation systems to make a nest, nest in the engine bay for warmth & I've seen them chew up washer fluid lines but this is the first time I've seen fuels lines get chewed up.
Hopefully the dealer can help you out if not your insurance should cover it thank god it didn't get into your interior.

To me that's a no brainer. Pay 300 or pay 500 and your time.

I don't trust insurance companies... With my luck, I'd end up paying much more than the $200 in raised rates over the next year or two. Thieves.

I spoke to the service manager this afternoon and they are going to cover it.
It sounds like the water leaking into the reverse lights (not the tail light issue) won't be a problem, either.

I also had a similar case, it's not very cool. Rodents ate $ 2,000 worth of wires in my car. I didn't seem to do anything, but they didn't show up again. But now I have new guests and they are bats. I don't think they're interested in the wires, but their presence bothers me. Besides, I have children, I would not want them to be afraid or catch some kind of infection. They are at this age all in the mouth drag.
I decided to hire a bat removal company waiting for them to remove the bats and the consequences of their stay here. It turned out perfectly.

Check back in a week for the link. There's been a couple setting up for something to do with pest control.

Yep. Saw that one yesterday. They are getting smarter though and stopped driving "Man" and have even started using avatars! Not so easy to pick out.
