I've read of guys having them spray all over under their dash.
I guess that would have been worse.
I'm replacing mine with copper.
However, I have read of some saying that copper may crack from vibration.
Has anyone heard of or had an issue with the copper tubing?

Copper tubing does become harder over time . If not properly looped for stress relief the vibration will crack it premature . You are correct that copper can fail , this is why the auto industries does not use it . I even had to replace the copper tubing on my air compressor a couple times . Not good in a vibration environment .
