i have one on the near side just behind the door and its going on the other side BUT in a my opinion on a 5 or 6 year old car this is valid wear and tear.
it does not allow water into the cabin so its not a problem for me
Its is the fulrum point and subject much more stress than the other parts of the hood
for sure on a 2 or 3 year old car it shoud not crack but tbn if you get 6 years out of a rag to you are doing well
