If nothing else, I would send the photos to Rex at Northstar and ask for his opinion. They have great customer service and I expect Rex would be dismayed to see this damage. I have a 2017 Igloo and haven't had any issues with mine but this is certainly a heads up to keep an eye on things.
Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have a contact email for Rex? Mine is a 2013. I bought it used from a reputable and official Northstar dealership last summer, and they went over all the seals before I took possession.
