There's really nothing that can be done for them, unfortuneately.  All you
can do is replace them at one of these places that has a lifetime
warranty(there mistake).  I replaced both of mine a couple of months ago
for around $60 a piece and they are lifetime warranty so no more worry
there.  Are you in a northern state?  Seems to happen to us more,
understandably.
