What is the secret to prevent these from cracking? Every one I've ever seen has either a chunk taken out of the left side, presumably where it's contacted the side of the body, or multiple cracks along the center or both. I understand that the studs rust, does that have anything to do with it? Obviously not slamming the trunk would help. Maybe if I had the whole thing frozen in carbonite.
