Default LU propshaft seal not UV stable

2 yrs ago I had propshaft replaced (bent). Now, after only 2 yrs, my propshaft outer seal rubber is cracked all around. I keep my prop off to keep folks honest. Motor tilted up exposes it to sun. Apparently UV rays are bad for it. from now on I will cover this to prevent same. Just thought Id mention this to save someone else the pain..
