Autozone radiator hoses suck
Found a pin size hole in my upper radiator hose. Went to autozone to pick up a new one, and it doesn't even fit right. I'm returning this and going to Nissan, $20.90 for a upper radiator hose from Nissan.

Most of the Autozone rad hose have an extra 2-3" on the end that needs to be trimmed off. At least this has been my experience with them and when I worked there part time.

They are called trim to fit yet they never actually fit right. Most times you can get them to work though. O.E. is only 20 bucks, whats the problem?

I agree with all of you that OEM or silicone is the way to go. Buy it once and be done with it.

I did cut it down, but it still doesn't fit right. Actually $20 isn't much money at all, I guess I was being dramatic. It's not a big deal. I'm just going to return this autozone piece and go with Nissan.
