It is indirectly connected to the lid and doesn't have a whole lot of flex, therefore the potential to crack is there. I've had it on mine for two years with no issues. Had it on my SS as well with no issues. Poly motor mounts help . Tainted is right though, it's a small gamble. Just do it.

Yeah, I'm not doing this until I get my solid mounts.
