    XLS22MLE Front Cap 2"Crack

    We have a 2021 Imagine XLS22MLE and when waxing the front cap, about 4" from the transition seal between the roof and cap there is a 2" hairline crack in the front cap. Has anyone had a similar issue? If yes, then how was it repaired? Warranty?

    Did you by any chance snap a picture of it? Do you think it is only in the very top surface or is it a real crack all the way through? Is it near one of the top corners where stresses are greater? Any sign of an impact?

    Yes, a picture would be helpful. The front cap on our 2020 22mle is rolled aluminum with a brownish color painted baked on textured surface then the decal was applied.

    Actually, upon a much closer look it appears to be a noticeable scrape. Not sure how it came about but a scrape is much better than a crack. Thanks for your reply!

    Could have been made by a branch. But yes, a scrape is better then a crack.
