OK. Thanks for the (bad, but useful) news. I kind of expected as much. I once heard form someone in texas that had a damaged trailer, but lost contact with him when I got a new computer and lost some addresses. If he's out there... Maybe I'll use a fake vent or something aluminum. The puncture is small and there just a small crease near it. Thanks for the advice. This list has so many nice and caring people!
