I don't understand how you could crack that top. I've taken my Spir@l apart 3 times now. It seems like it would be very hard to crack or break the top. Gone_Fishin, about the barbs, on mine they're barely screwed in. The barb doesn't even come through the bottom of the top. Mine are about 1/4" away from the bottom of the top. Even when I remounted the top the 3 times I took it apart, I screwed the screws in almost all the way.
