In my last reply I wondered if it was just small gelcoat cracks or the roof structure was actually pulling the glass apart. You might consider covering the area with roven instead of mat, overlapping the crack by a foot or more on each side for the first layer, preferably over existing fiberglass with gelcoat removed.Use 24 grit for roughness over existing glass. You could cover the roven with mat to match the existing texture.
Just some suggestions, hope it goes well.
I recently had to replace the drip ledge around a 32 ft. houseboat on Lay Lake. The existing structure was not strong enough to resist the movement of the wood, especially after a crack was formed and moisture got in the wood.
