Just noticed these on the rear spoiler of my Trophy. Although they look like scratches, they are internal, with just a smooth surface on the outside, so potentially internal cracks on the acrylic? Anyone else had similar? UK based, no recent exceptional cold weather experienced, and unfortunately no extreame warmth either

Scratches or condensation ?

I wondered if it was condensation too. Try heating the area gently with a hair dryer to see if they go away.

There seems to be some dark scratches above and to the right of the white marks and a lot of hairline horizontal scratches too. Have you taken it through a car wash?

Gets washed by hand when needed, more regularly in the nice weather ? car sponge and shammy - old school ?

Update. Car been with dealer, who had ordered a new light, which will be fitted when it arrives in the UK of course... so if you suddenly get cracks inside the acrylic, get to the dealer for replacement
