Tiara Open Hard Top cracking on 2008 38 Open
#3
Definitely check the entire top for moisture I had major issue with moisture in my 2006 luckily it was always stored heated so it never cracked. Seems dealers can't figure out how to properly mount accessories and tiara did not fill in the voids in the balsa core so a leak anywhere in the top allows water to travel wherever it wants.

FWIW I took the top off and had a fiberglass shop remove the upper skin in the aft half and replace the coring it's not a easy or cheap repair. If this is your issue pick a shop that has experience with coring and the ability to handle something that large.
