Today, I received a ProStar lid. Overall, it arrived in good condition, but I noticed what appears to be an internal crack in one of the corners.

It doesn’t seem like a major issue, but since it's in a corner that supports most of the lid’s weight on that side, I’m concerned that the crack could worsen over time.

It’s hard to capture in pictures, but the crack appears internal, as I can’t feel it by touch. Do you think this is something worth contacting the store about, or is it not a major concern?

So it looks the same from both sides or does it seem like it's on one side?

- Looks more like a scuff to me based on the pictures
- Can you flex this corner more than other corners (with light pressure obviously - if it's a crack it will snap very easily)
- If it were a crack I think it would have gone through the triangle vs. skirting around it.
