I have a problem with my International Space Station 21321 set, all the blue clips that hold the panels to the main beams are crumbling, and weakened enough that I wake up to panels on the floor. I have no idea why this is happening, but hoping someone can help? Ideas I can do different to prevent it after I replace these parts? It seems to effect all the blue clips not just the big ones, even the little pod lost one of its solar panels :(

Some details, it’s probably 4 years old now. I keep it on display but not under glass, in a 72f room. I have difficulty keeping it totally dust free as it’s very fragile to begin with, but it’s never really been touched otherwise.

Thanks for any ideas

Edit: not the technic connectors, the blue solar panel pattern tiles are the problem

    honestly I’d just say get replacement pieces from Lego super easy to do if you say that they broke or whatever. I got a buch (25 or so) bricks for free because all the brown bricks kept cracking when disassembling

      Definitely I’ll replace the parts, just sucks if I’m going to have to fix it up every couple years
