I found this crack yesterday after coming back from Baja. Very rough roads. What do you think is going on?

I dont think that link works for non-members of that site.

I can't see a picture of the cracks you speak of from the link. If you are referring to cracks above or around the door frame.....then YES....you should be concerned. It means the frame has cracked under the skin and it needs to be addressed.

Attached is a picture of a crack that formed above the door of my Hawk after a particularly nasty bit of four wheeling in Colorado and Arizona.



The FWC factory repaired the issue free of charge under warranty.

I'll work on getting the link to work tomorrow. It is similar to yours only it's in front on the right above the front window. Anyone else have their frame crack or develope cracks in the siding?

Thanks.

I had cracks over the corner of the door and propane compartment repaired a couple of years ago. FWC found cracks in the rear frame and repaired it under warranty. The crack over the door has returned so I'll be making a trip to Woodland this summer before the warranty expires.

Here are the pictures. My Grandby is a '94. Does anyone have an idea of what it may cost me out of pocket?

Probably have to call ATC or FWC to inquire. If its too spendy you could consider pulling off the interior panel and use rivets/brackets to sure up the broken weld. Then patch that crack with some 5200.

Or JB Weld?

You thinking for the crack, broken weld, or both?

The broken weld UNDER the skin. It would look pretty ghetto on the skin crack.
