Modify a Craig Display BEFORE you loose it ?

My first thought is that if you have a working display, and you want to
play tapes, it might be wise to try to prolong it's life rather than
waiting for it to break and then working out a fix. 

What seems an obvious primary solution is a thin coat of clear silicone seal, 
front
and back, at the break point. That would add strength where desperately
needed and would certainly maintain or enhance flexibility. I think it
would also move that flex point slightly.

Frank Russo ( from Zilla ):
This is a tough call to make Les.
If you continue to use cassettes it's likely a matter of when and not if.
The only way to circumvent the Display problem is before it happens.
The cable bends at such an extreme angle I doubt if Silicone would have any 
useful effect. The flex point will not shift. Close inspection will reveal 
this.

My recommendations in order of difficulty:
1 Stop using cassettes 
2 Remove the Stereo, wrap it in plastic and place another unit in the car.
3 Reroute the ribbon cable over the hinge bar ( big job )
