Fiberglass top on a used CC horse trailer, whatta you'all think?

[moparguy]

As mentioned in another post, I'm in the market for a 3 or 4 horse slant. Found a used steel, 97 4 horse CC, with a 7' short wall at a local dealer. It already has roof air, just not finished out with camper stuff in the dressing room. My concern is with the fiberglass roof. It'll never rust, and is cooler than metal, however, whatabout durability. I tend to keep things almost forever (same wife for 28 years and still have my 70 340 4spd Chevy/Ford butt kicking Duster, oops... sorry, got carried away). I don't want to be fighting crazed/cracked fiberglass in a few years.

Anybody had experience with glass tops?

Thanks, Ronnie

I had a Circle J with a fiberglass roof and I though it was great. I will say that the glass was pretty thick, maybe 3/16". Sold the trailer to a friend and it still looks good, about 6 or 7 years old now.
