If it's a new MINI, I'd take it to your dealer... unless you accidentally broke it by washing/waxing pressure??

Yes, my only idea would be to replace it with a non-cracked one.

My dealer replaced three on my MINI in the first 18 months of ownership! They were stress cracks that were definitely not caused by me. The Tech told me he made sure not to overtighten the last one and it has lasted me over 2 1/2 years.
