Tiara Open 1988 3100 Open - Hatch Issue. Fix or Replace? Parts?
#1
I have a 88' 3100 Open and where there are 2 larger stainless steel screws on the back hatch that covers the generator area.  The screws must have allowed some moisture in and the glass is lifting around those screws and only around those screws.  It is almost in a prefect 5" x 5" square around each screw.   It's very strange and happened when it was super hot/humid late last summer.    It hasn't totally broken the glass yet but if you look you can totally see it lifted and it's starting to spider web crack.  Must have gotten moisture in there is all I can think.   My thought was it would be tough to repair and get the same look.   My 2nd thought was grind it down, fix it and place non-skip over the entire deck so you wouldn't notice it.    Before I go either of those routes, does anyone know if there would be a Tiara graveyard somewhere where I could buy the hatch and just swap it out?   Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated, I'm totally new to this website......let me know.
