mtnguy,

Thanks for the additional information regarding a fix for the cracking issue. I do have a photo of the other end of the front stone guard, which I am keeping an eye on. It looks like some lateral cracking is starting to branch off the original run. I like your suggestion of adding additional support closer to the edge of the hinge - something I will probably have to perform soon. My rear stone guard has a crack on just one end, which has been stopped with a drill hole - so far.
