Just how bad and where is it?
I was overly enthusiastic when I cut mine (no lame excuses, I just screwed up). I was given a canopy with a 2" crack on the rh fwd corner, bought some filler rod and some glue and repaired. Spent 50 bucks instead of $1100.
It's not "too" noticable but then again I will always know right where it is.
If it's not too bad I'm more than happy to share the repair info with you.
luck on ya
