Got an early 6o's LG that has the picjguard curl which has caused 3 separate cracks in the top...Problem is , VERY thin guard , finished over with NO separations...No gaps anywhere...I'm worried about opening a gigantic can of worms..

    If there’s no separation to work with I usually start at the point. Is that the sort of info you’re looking for?
