For those cardboards that have a crack or crease where they should not I have seen interior guys on the back side spray glue some posterboard to give it support.

That's a good idea. There is one area near a sail panel where we may have to do something like that. We test fit the cardboard before covering it with material. One back corner area had too much bend in the board. I put a heavy weight on it for a couple days and it seemed to relax and fit better. Going to try and install it in the next couple days again. We have had a run of 5-6 days of great weather so I want to take advantage of that.

Mine didn't blow the filter completely off , but unthreaded about halfway.
Made a mess in the carport and scared me enough to drain the rest out.
Once in a lifetime event, so far.

They used some kind of resin/glue to close my crack. I thought they were going to add some fiberglass mat to it for added strength and maybe they did on the front side.
