Hi Paul,

I assume the holes in the wind wing material are in the correct location, they most definately shouldn't be cracking. There shouldn't be any stress (or at least not enough) to cause the material to crack, unless it's a bad batch of material that Finishline have been given.

Do you have fibre washers between screw head/plexi and nut/hinge?

May also be worth making some yourself. Very easy to do, using 4mm - 6mm thick lexan, a jigsaw and some varying grades of wet n dry.

I made my own using 5mm lexan, using the original as a template (originals were glass) and made 4 pairs from the single piece of lexan. total cost was < GPB10 ($16?). Current pair have been fitted for around 1yr, no signs of splitting/fractures etc.
