Just crested 15k miles over the weekend in southern UT. Still haven't put in for MIC 2.0 swap.

I really didn't want to take up more space on B6G with MIC top worry-
wonders, but feel like I should mention it looks like there's a billion tiny stress cracks (at least on the surface) of the edges where the top-, uh top, meets the top-sides (where the poorly siliconed edges are)

Only noticing this as I've been offroading much lately and gathered alot of the fine desert dust the Mojave is known for, in said apparent cracks.

With the cupped shape of the top portion and the forces induced by wind and road, it makes sense cracks could appear here.

Tldr; did I miss stress cracks in MIC edges being discussed elsewhere on B6G and, has anyone noticed this on their MIC 2.0?

I don't recall that issue exactly but hopefully it's limited to 1.0 tops. My son cut himself Saturday on a rough edge under the window while peering out so 2.0 has its issues too. Mine also has two big blisters and awful sealing to the body at the front so I'm going to ask for a replacement but I've been waiting to see if they'll wholesale switch replacements to the new vendor.
