Phil, My 45 had the same crack in the same location. I also found a number of cracks on the frame - see attached photo - that you may want to check out on your HUP. Keep in mind that my HUP was very much abused...
The white circle was to remind me of the cracked "sled" or runner on the pax side of the truck. The other points included the lower central windshield frame, the point where the upright post meets the wheel well and the door frame just above the guideway. My poor truck was wracked, bent, twisted, torqued and overstressed in so many areas. Thus, the cracks.
