Default Fiberglass Repair Question

While cleaning the roof for a reseal project on my 24TD, I have found two small cracks on the outer fiberglass skin, one is at the top right corner of the front fiberglass piece, in the bend, about two inches long running at a 45degree angle from the rounded corner towards the trailer hitch (references points) and the other is on the front window shield just passed the metal piano hinge end, unsupported section. I have not raised the cover up without support for fear of breaking the shield more. Is this normal for this model and will a fiberglass repair kit serve to repair it or is it a replacement only.
All ideas are appreciated, Bob

Bob I had the same issue with mine. I 'stop drilled' the cracks and then caulked them good. They seem to be fine now.
