It's the epoxy that's broken/cracked. After speaking with one of the tech's I think I have a plan. I'm going to go at it with a drill bit shaped like a ball and carve a groove into the crack. From there I'll sand it all back and feather in the cracks. Then I'll apply a new layer Or really...multiple layers of UV resistant epoxy to the cracks to build up the cracked ares. Once it's all built up then I will sand it down with varying grits util i get to 3000 grit. Finish with buff and polish.

Time consuming? Yes. Less expensive than buying new parts? YOU BET!

Maybe I'll post some photos as I go.
