Thats odd. Give Rossi a call. I know a customer rep, just be nice and they'll fix you up in no time.

did you dull them underfoot before you hit rails? hitting rails with factory sharp edges is generally bad.

also, the edge cracks aren't necessarily the end of the world. my walls have almost 20 cracks between all 4 edges, and none of them are even starting to come out....they've been cracked like that for about a full season now and i haven't had any problems.
