if i do get extension i don't want mine to crack from ice and stuff in the winter...so i was wondering does anyone here remove their extensions every winter and reinstall in the spring?
if you do, do u just use the normal screws + some type of epoxy or some other way? since i was thinking won't it be a real bitch to clean off all that tape/epoxy in the winter and to re-apply it? those tape/epoxy isn't cheap either... -------------------- |

ehhh, not sure if i would remove them in the winter. you're better off leaving them on and just make sure you paint them well and use plenty of clear. i know ontario is a lot colder then new york and you get more snow but i really havent had a problem with them cracking or anything. plus, the epoxy will be a biatch to remove and you might even crack the extension when trying to get it off.
