    I didn't know how it got it, but most probably due to pressure. I would like to ask if theres any way I can patch it up? I'll hydrodip the chasis eventually, if that means anything.

    If there's not a gap to fill probably all you can do in this case is epoxy and sandpaper it until it looks smooth right before dipping it. The edge there looks a little rough too, so the entire shell may need sanding before you do a dip anyway.

    Thank you for your insight! The edges look rough due to the vinyl sticker applied. I'll remove this once I get the crack patched up. What specific equipment/tools would you use to seal this crack?

    There's a tool online called the glue looper that could potentially work for you. Made for seamless glue fixing

    I've never used the tool @agent_pires mentioned but that does look like it could be useful. They do make plastic repair kits, but I've only used those to repair vehicle fairings.

    Yeah I feel like I need to seal the crack before getting it dipped to be safe.
