    Posted: 10 Oct 2021 at 12:01pm
I have a 2015 r-pod 178, purchased from original owner in 2017. When washing and polishing it yesterday, I noticed cracks forming in the shell. They are just below the rear spoiler on the right side, above the r-pod decal. I am about to cover it for the winter (live in MT), how do I repair those cracks so they do not expand over the winter? The r-pod is covered with a Classic Accessories deluxe cover for the winter, but not under any carport or protective structure, so it will accumulate some snow. I brush off as much as I can through the season. I don’t want the cracks to get bigger or have the roof fail. Any help would be appreciated. Please refer me to a previous topic thread if that exists. Thanks!

If you could post pictures, we could offer advice. You may have a real problem, or you might just have some gel coat crazing.

I'd love to post a photo -- I got it into the File Manager, how do I paste it into a message? Any help appreciated -- I'm new to this!

2 step process, use the little tree icon with the up arrow at the top to upload the photo, then the tree icon without the up arrow to post the photo. Keep the file size reasonable.
