Curious to hear your responses.
Starquest, you are referring "6" "to a crack that terminates below the cowling. While true u cannot cure it sufficiently during repair, w/o removal of the cowling, if done correctly, I think that due to the fact that the cowling is perforated it will cure in time, if of coarse you don't take the time to remove the cowl during the repair process. (a three min job). I agree with the cleat method on side mouldings as it is a necessary feature for cracks that end via the edge of the shield. I have done many cracks and while I first recommend replacement, I do repairs for those who wish it be done, we also warranty them for the life of the glass as we do all repairs. So in my opinion your post was not entirely accurate, you see if I choose to spend my time on a crack you would decline, that is a repairable shield, and I receive payment for my services, how is this a problem? Less I have better things to do?
