We noticed some very small stress cracks at the top of the wing uprights. The fatigue cracks communicate between the upper wing mounting bolt holes and the front and rear edge of the wing upright.
Could be lethal if this came off at speed and went through another cars windshield or hit an open wheel cockpit.
Take a look and make sure yours are ok.

Thanks Kevin.
Do you have standard wing uprights on your car or higher ones? If non standard, what material & thickness are they?

I have had a problem with the standard wing with the bolts that have fatigued and cracked Solved the problem with stainless steel cap screws.
