Fiberglass roof repair in So. CA

I have a one piece fiberglass roof on my 2008 Tiffin. I have a couple 8 inch cracks in the fiberglass right where the roof rolls over the edge. The cracks are about 8 inches apart from each other.

Tiffin said they will fix it at no charge. I just have to get to Red Bay. They may also pay for somebody else to fix it. But, I am looking to sell the rig in the next 30 days, and I want to get the cracks repaired.

Does anybody know of a shop around So. CA that does fiberglass repair?

Thanks for your help!

    I put Eternabond tape on the cracks. That repair will last forever. But, I am looking to get a new rig, and I want this fixed so it looks good for the next owner. It is just for cosmetics. Fix the cracks and repaint a small section.

    I never had the time to fix the things I wanted to fix. But, now I am finding the time to fix every little thing now that I am going to sell it or trade it in! Go figure.

    Well time_to_go_now,
    "So CA" is a big area. There's probably a thousand qualified shops that can and will fix your issue. If, you're in the San Diego area of So. CA, I can highly recommend San Diego RV Center on Bond in El Cajon CA. OUTSTANDING WORK was done on our coach when I backed into the corner of our home. (what an airhead). You can't even tell it was ever damaged.

    Yes, I have a recommendation.

    The Paint Dept. in Chino, CA. We had a repair done on our '08 Dynasty back in 2008 as I bumped the entrance to our storage garage. They did an excellent job on the repair and paint. We had the 'fading' color design in our paint scheme and it looked perfect.

    The Paint Dept. is a very busy RV repair facility.
