The top portion of the nose cap has caved in. On the highway it looks strange, all pushed in. Never hit anything, just 3 trips under our belt. Brought back to dealer to see if they can do anything with it.

Big bird strike from a Seagull or Crow?

Weak fiberglass is likely as is not enough support.
I do not recall another thread about this but it would be easy to miss here.

It was a topic last year and seemed to be most prevalent due to the brown-colored caps in the south.

FR was repairing them by opening the seam between the roof and the cap and inserting foam sheets to support the soft, warm plastic.

I had my Cap checked at Goshen. The '14 model year was a different material, mine is a '13 and is fine. '15 are fine.
