  Both of my VCP hatches started cracking at about two years of age.  I use
303 regularly on them and always store them inside.  They're now about 3.5
yrs old and the cracking is just starting to get to the point where I'm
beginning to think that it's structural as opposed to cosmetic.  Time for
new hatch covers.....  The part that really burns me up is the ridiculous
pricing of these things...
