Mfg Flaw - 5th Wheel Fiberglass Cap

I have identified a hole in my 2014 277RLSWE Cougar 5th wheel cap near the passenger side running light. It appears to be a mfg defect.
I am trying to upload a picture of it, but the forum website is coming back with an error.

I posted a reply in that forum based on your use of photobucket.

My 2014 Cougar had a defect in the front cap as well on the upper right side looking at the front. My dealer made a half-azzed repair at a 3rd party repair shop and now i'm just screwed on getting Keystone to help me. It went back to the dealer twice for this repair and the last time the whole camper was covered with black paint overspray, took 2 weeks to clean it off of everything but it will never come off the roof. I will never go back to that dealer and I tell everyone to avoid them,... Walnut ridge RV in New Castle Indiana. Be careful how you proceed with any cap repair as you don't want the mess I got with fixing mine.
Based on the picture you have a simple gel-coat blister pop. Those are really easy to fix and the light will hide it nicely.
