On our five (5) month old Gator I just noticed a crack in the plastic about 3" inches long on the right front fender. It looks like a "stress" crack for lack of a better explanation (or picture). Called the dealer and they are picking it up this morning to look at it. Is anyone else having this problem? I am sure hoping this will be covered by warranty. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I have an older 6x4 gas Gator - And, have noticed "stress" cracks in plastic; most often around attachment points. This has not been a problem over a period of 4 years. I had to replace a fender (another story) and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was not too expensive.
