Rhodes Chroma Polaris

I replaced mine as well.   Definitely a good idea.

And for what it's worth I am one such person who can vouch for how awesome the replacement panels are. Take the plunge and you probably won't have to worry about your Polaris panels again in your lifetime . . . (unless you're currently a teenager, in which case probably not until very old age - if even then).
