I have a hairline stress crack in the back of our 2018 176T. Is this something I should be worried about? Or is that considered "normal" wear?  |

MadCity, When dealing with Gelcoat and fiberglass, stress cracks are common. There is some flex not common in metal. The one in picture is not major. Having owned several vettes I am somewhat familiar with them. There was a post on another forum from a 179 owner who had stress cracks fixed by FR. When in doubt check with your dealer or service provider. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 |
