   Even putting a strip of Gorilla Tape over the crack would work quite well if it isn't protected by a shelter from rain.

	Do not let water get in that crack (even a small one) while waiting for the warranty process. Water damage is far worse than just a little fiberglass crack, and if it happens would probably be excluded by the warranty company as damage that could have been avoided by a proper and timely repair. Take some photos and then seal it up temporarily until a permanent fix can be done. If you can post the pictures here on the forum it would be helpful.

	Hey thanks for the fast response. We've had this about 6 weeks and the seller paid $100 to transfer the warranty to us but we haven't received the transferred policy yet. (Hope it's in the works.) I did some advanced searching but didn't see anything yet. I will keep trying. Thanks again.

	This has to be an extended warranty given the age of the trailer. If you see a crack and it is covered, get it checked out now and fixed before your warranty expires. I have a 2016 RP179 also, and have not noticed any cracks like you are describing. Welcome. I don't know how long you have had your RPod. We purchased ours in December, 2015. As for searches, use the Advanced Search and it will open up the possibility to extend the search dates greatly. The default is to search posts up to 6 months old. With Advanced Search, you can expand the range to Any Date, refine in which area you want to search, etc.

	2016 R Pod 179. I'm second owner and noticed fairly high up on the front portion of the fiberglass material where it's still making the radius before the roof becomes flat there is a crease that extends across from side to side that is starting to crack very slightly. Not that noticeable unless you're on a ladder. Warranty is up in March 2021. I haven't seen where an issue like this has been discussed on this site. Any advice or guidance? Thanks in advance.
