Crack(s) near skylight.

I was in the camper today opening it up so I didnt get any moisture and near the skylight over the shower on the outer rim where its screwed into the ceiling i noticed a crack.I also noticed this same scenario near the bathroom vent.Is this like a pressure crack from when the screw was put in? Should i take it to the dealer in spring? I'm assuming it was there when i got it and i didn't notice.There have been no leaks.

Skylight


Vent

Looks like since the trim ring does not fit flush with the strip and is on the batten strip, the screw when tightened put pressure on the ring and caused it to crack/break, have had that happen in previous trailer.

Let's all just keep on talking RVing.

I would remove the rings, super glue them back together and re-install and forget them. Just don't tighten the screws down as tight. You can also super glue a pc of plastic reinforcement to the backside.
