This a neat idea and I can understand why it was done . I have the starter mounted fuse on 6 of my cars and never a problem in wet and windy England . Some have been in use for many years If they look like getting crusty they get a little squirt of WD 30 . I put a cable tie around the glass tube bit towards one end a leave a tail to pull on . Even though sometimes you can pull quite hard I have never broken a fuse they are surprisingly strong .I keep a spare fuse or two with the cable tie fitted in the door pocket . Every time I leave a car parked or overnight I always pull the fuse so they are fitted and refitted many times .
