Hard Top Damage
Last weekend I was in Hollister having fun. I got the JK a little on its side and nicked a rock on the rear passenger side corner of the hard top. It’s about 1” long and maybe 1/16” deep. What’s the potential of the fiberglass delaminating/separating? Is there an easy fix?

The top is not fiber glass. The top is made of SMC sheet molded composite. It is similar to fiberglass but it will not come apart in sheets like fg would. SMC will just brake.

I got a a gash abou 4in long an1/4 to a 1/2 in deep, filled it with some Marine putty from Lowes, real easy to use just break off a chunk, knead it , apply, wait about an hour and sand, then spray with some black.
