2013 212X Spider Crack Question

[SCP1]

The 212x I was looking at has a big spider crack between the window and the rub rail (on the white). Is this common (the crack is about 3 feet and right now there are 3 other cracks off the main one? What caused this, the tower? I'm assuming it was not the cleat as it is not by the cleat. How much to have this fixed as it would drive me nuts (also what are the odds that this could be repaired and look like new)?

The gel coat is a lot less flexable than the fiberglass it protects. So if you flex the fiberglass beyond a certain point you will get these cracks in the gel coat without any significant damage to the fiberglass My guess is someone was holding on to the windshield while under way (never a good idea under any circumstances) and flexed the fiberglass. You can get a product that will quickly fix those cracks. I will post later once I find the product name

I'm not so sure a do it yourself product will fix a big area like that. But it can be fixed better than new. Cost wise, depends on who bids on it, where your located, and how much demand for that type work there is. But a good glass shop can fix it easy. Might be $500+/-. It is really a $150 job. But no one will gather all needed to do even a small job and do it for that. He can do a large area as easy as a small area, so the cost isn't really in materials, but setup and time to finish. Anyway, it is just cosmetic more than likely.
