Product review (5 stars): Easy fix for big problem
These caps are an easy and inexpensive way to repair worn tips on dishwasher tines.  We've owned several different brands of dishwashers over the years and have had the same problem with all of them - even a relatively new Bosch.  Of course, all manufacturers' instructions state that this can happen when items are not placed as recommended, but there are always items that won't fit and need to be placed over the tines.  The result of the worn tips are unsightly rust stains on dishes and replacing racks is costly.  These caps slip right over the tines - no mess, and under $10!  RusSan shipped them quickly and there were no mailing fees.  The instructions do state that they need to be glued on with a specific product, which was not indicated in the description.  We did not glue them on.  They are fairly long and have stayed in place through at least fifty washes on the "pots and pans scrub" cycle.  I'm not sure if this will work for all dishwashers.  Ours does not have a heating element which could possibly make a difference.  Easy fix for a big problem!
