Didn't the English learn ANYTHING from the Titantic?

Seriously, though, there's not a lot you can do about it if you want to run in the cold. Things are less pliable in the cold and crack easier. My suggestion is find a body made from a thicker material or line the inside with something like a bedliner material.

Heat the body with a hair dryer before runing:D , I've never done it yet, maybe is a silly idea:D :D
