craze marks in the glass fibre

Are the corners of the rear panel just below the boot lid and adjacent to the lamp cluster a common area, or does this indicate a possible knock at the rear?

Mine has this - the previous owner suggested it was something heavy in the boot, 'shooting backwards' as the car accelerated hard. Dunno whether it's true but sounds plausible.

Spare wheel not properly restrained in the boot?

Hey up dougc.
Where've you been lately? Not seen you on the Curry night for a month or two ...

[dougc]

Work commitments the last couple of months unfortunately. Will try to get to the next one though. Don't think the date is set yet...

had over £1ks worth pf body work done due to spare not restrained...... damage was wheel arch to wheel arch after the gel coat stripped bak.....only showed as around rear lights

I think pushing/pulling the car by the rear edge of the boot with the boot lid up can cause this. If you push or pull your car in/out of the garage, use the pillar or chassis under the bonnet.
