Well, its hard to tell--the car was garaged for 4 months. It had the crickets when I parked it, and it still gets them from time to time. I would be happy if they faded.

However, the engineer in me is afraid that the sound of the crickets going away indicates either 1) the o-ring causing the sound has worn down slightly, like when you get new shoes and they squeak at first, just a matter of breaking in

or 2) the part that caused the squeak is on the cusp of imminent failure. That reminds me, I need to buy a car fire extinguisher on the way home.
