The base of the where it mounts has the very typical fissures as these all get from the years and heat generated by the light itself and the sun baking down on the roof, but as you can clearly see these are very MINIMAL compared to most and more importantly, there is ZERO brittle-ness at the mounting points at all-this unit is SOLID. These were used as useful optional upgrades on MANY Ford-Lincoln-Mercury models from 1973 until about 1996 or so. This has a FLAT base so make sure it will fit snugly on your particular model.
