My tour pak has what looks like stress cracks all over the top of the lid. They are not cracks all the way through or anything. It's just another reason for my winter tear down for a repaint.

Also the epoxy will hold everything together better if you rough up the "inner" surface with course sandpaper and wipe clean with alcohol. hope this helps.

Drilling the crack is a MUST to keep the crack from propagating further. Make sure you find the absolute end of the crack. Sometimes cracks can run further hidden under paint, rust, etc.
