cracked fluorescent light covers in 2013 30' Classic

Has anyone had an issue with cracked fluorescent light covers? Before I took delivery of the trailer the one in the bathroom is cracked. Since I've had the trailer (4 days) the one in the living room has cracked. is it just brittle plastic bouncing up and down the highway? The dealer did leave me a spare. I'm wondering if this is going to be an ongoing thing.

Had to replace two of mine when new. 4000 miles later on all sorts of roads and no issues. The things are so light and brittle I think they were haphazardly installed and cracked. You might also look to be certain the fixture is mounted straight and the mounting screws not overtightened.
Cheers

I've noticed a couple. They seem to be just a hair too long for the fixture and in a bit of a bind when installed. You have reminded me. I need to remove about 1/32" from an end to see if that cures it.

FWIW, I've never had this problem.
