you should get to it before it gets any worse and does permanent damage tho. pull the wing off, fill the holes temporarily with hot glue to keep the weather out , and start sanding.
Hm... sounds like I havea new winter project. I have a black wing sitting in my basement that I could throw on for a bit... Thanks for the tips!

Alright, I think this is giving me the guts to finally get at this myself, I've had one sitting in my garage for about a month and a half, just needing to re-clear it lol
