Default Hard Top

Hi all, newby here...
Looking at a 2000 Sport online and the hardtop has a fist size crack/indent in it. Looks like he leaned it into a tree at one point.
I assume they are fiberglass so not too hard to fix but has anyone done repairs and paint to their hardtop? Don't know if this should be a deal breaker or not.. Thanks for replies.

Heated Seats?? That'll keep the touc warm lol Nice looking-You might want to obtain a high lift jack sometime..check out
"Princess Auto" they have some wicket deals, or off road 4by4 shops in your area.. you shud be able to pu one for under $100.
And then where to mount it? Many mount it across the inside back at the roll bar (only problem there is if your like me and
have a frozen door lock its not real fun climbing over it to get to the drivers seat). But inside is still the best especially needing
it in a snow storm.

I told myself if it's the only creature comfort I have it's going to be heated seats lol...nonair or cruise so....
Far as the jack goes thanks for mentioning it. It came with one mounted on the hood. I took it off recently but prob mount it inside for sure.
cheers
