Is this something I should be worried about?

I went to park the alfa in the garage today and I noticed these superficial cracks in the fiberglass hardtop. (Yes it’s fiberglass textured to look like vinyl, tacky I know.)

They go from the middle all the way to the door frame both left and right.

I’m not too worried about the top because the sides of it are literally separating and it’s so ugly I can’t put in the effort required to fix it.

Probably cracking in the gel layer as it twists around (either from chassis torsion or heat expansion). Nothing you need to worry about if you don’t really care how it looks ;)

As someone who has spent much time working on fiberglass BiTurbo228 is probably right. Though I would watch it. If it goes past the gel coat then you’ll be looking at some repair work
