Small crack in Dynaquest cargo door

[Rlynxgolfer]

Any recommendations on how to fix small 3" crack starting in top right hand
corner of Generator. It is a 2006 320. Just bought past 6 months ran Generator
for a 1 hour workout, I believe that is when crack delveloped. The door seems to be covered with soft plastic polymer. A couple of the other doors have small
Wrinkles no damage just cosmetic.

Without a picture its is hard to tell but cracks can be stop drilled to keep them from traveling farther along the surface.

Mine has the same cracks. I have noticed that when the doors are in the hot sun the cracks close up. In colder temps the cracks get bigger. I believe the cracks started because of the constant expanding and contracting over the years. The finished portion seems to be pop riveted to the insulated aluminum frame. I am thinking I might experiment with one of mine. Remove the painted cover, fix the crack with fiberglass from the back side of the panel and reattach it with pop rivets through and enlarged hole to allow for thermal expansion. Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated. For what its worth....I looked at several Dynaquests of this vintage before purchasing out current one...and they all had this problem. I am assuming that it is a common problem. I will get a pic or 2 posted when I get a chance.

Here are the pics of the cracks in my cargo doors. They have gotten MUCH worse than they were last fall I think that adds confirmation to my theory that the panels "shrink" in the cold temps, causing further cracks.










Oh well I guess I will be trying to repair these sooner than I thought

ouch. Yeah, 99% sure those are ABS doors.
