Post subject:  Stress cracks on rear seat fiberglass

Hi All- does anyone have any preventative measures to keep the paint/clear from spider webbing behind the seat on the rear fiberglass pillion? This is my second F1 and both have done it. Unfortunately the clear has already suffered stress fractures, but neither the clearcoat nor paint have chipped of yet. However, its only a matter of time.

Thanks

We call that "patina". Accept it; there is no cure. MikeV

PS: Do you have the spider web above the old-style battery post?
