295rl front cap cracks

2022 295rl: after 3 attempts, bedroom slider box completely removed and receiver hole realigned with shims by a solid RV shop. Not much use since; but, slide operation appears to be smooth. Apparently out of alignment from factory-was all covered by warranty=no complaints as Keystone came through.

After total rework, drove home (Denver area) from Coeur d'Alene, ID (1,000+ miles) with a couple of stops=no issues. After getting home we washed 295 and noticed two very small cracks in front/bottom cap below metal reflector (above hitch). These cracks could have happened anytime on our previous 1,500 mile trip before or after the repair; we didn't wash and weren't looking closely in this area. Local dealer can't figure out where they came from-no frame issues. Keystone; so far, won't cover under warranty.

Has anybody seen these types of cracks in this area before? I'll be going direct Keystone trying to get some help; but, in meantime, just going to monitor looking for a cause.

Thanks for any help.
Jack

Photos ??? There are several types of cracks possible in a "molded fiberglass cap"... They could be "gelcoat grazing", stress cracks, cracks caused by a "hidden screw" that was inserted through the fiberglass without a proper "drilled pilot hole", just to mention a few.

Photos of the actual cracks and an overall photo showing where (on the fiberglass cap) they're located might help with finding a cause.
