Schooner hope the dealer give you good advice ? I found out on mine it was only the gelcoat and not thru the Fiberglass so it was more cosmetic for me . The body shop took me up on the scaffolding to show me .

Clayton4971 - yea, I had the same thought - right after I drilled the hole.

Haven't touched it since and it is still in the same condition as when I discovered it. This was over two years ago. It is not noticeable unless you are looking for it.
Thanks for the info. I'm assuming he told you to drill the hole to stop the crack from spreading? Think I'll pass on the drilling but the marine sealant sounds like a good "fix".

I found a crack in my cap; hairline. I took a picture of it for my dealer and I put some Eternabond over it. I’m going from NJ to Disney in 2 days and I can’t deal w/ a potential leak at this juncture. I’m interested to see what my dealer does.

My dealer sent my pics to Jayco. They're requesting a full cap replacement; lets see where it goes.

Who does the full cap replacement, your dealer, or back to the factory ?

Good question - I had assumed they’d ship a cap but we’ll see shortly.

Let me know the process and your overall experience with JAYCO warranty, I just pick my 26XD 2 weeks ago and noticed a small hairline crack in the clear coat on the top cab.
