Our 2021 Globetrotter FT has similar cracks in the roof locker over the dinette. In discussing it with one dealership, I was told it is a major job to replace the locker. I brought up the issue with the mothership (Airstream Factory, Ohio) and was told that this is a common problem, and that they no longer replace the locker. In their experience the problem just reoccurs. Apparently there are voids in the underlying cabinet support and the plastic liner is somewhat fragile causing the liner to crack easily. They recommended their current fix which was to somehow fill in the voids under the cabinet bottom (I did not get the specifics on how thy might do this) and to then re-line the floor of the cabinet with some other material like felt. This both creates a nice non-slip surface on the locker bottom and hides the repaired damage.
Has anyone else had experience with repairing this type of damage? How did things work out?
