I think it's Napa that has a rebuild kit that consists of a new rubber seal for around $5 per sensor.

Yes it will. I just paid for the rebuild Kit. I was not in the mood to argue with the shop anymore. The counter guy was 30 years older than me and obviously knew a whole lot more about everything in the world than me.

That's a great idea.

Because unless you do the above or flash it, the idiot light stays all the time and the warning bells chime.

All passenger car and light truck wheels sold in the US have the exact same size hole for the tire valve. All valves are designed to properly fit that hole. It is a DOT requirement. All TPMS stems are the same as the valves. Any tire dealer that says different is either an idiot or a liar.
