Little spider webbing in fiberglass

The previous owners of my Jayco installed some wire racks above the stove for spices, etc. Last weekend while washing it, I noticed a tiny bit of spider web looking cracks where I believe one of the screws for the racks were pushed in too far. Is there anything I can use to help shield that area from water or any other suggestion for repair? The spot is probably a 1/2 inch in diameter.

It shouldn't pose a water threat but I would replace the screw ASAP with something about 1/4" shorter. The area should level off and close the cracks.

You could then clean the area with some wax remover of sorts and rub silicone caulk into the prepped area just to make sure. Your other options are more involved and expensive but should not be required.

It's usually gelcoat cracking.
