I don't know TR4s well enough to know if there was a difference between
in length between TR4 and TR4A tonneaus. However, putting the tonneau
cover in the sun will *definitely* make the tonneau cover easier to fit.
I have found that my TR6 tonneau cover is nigh impossible to get on the
car in 40F temperatures, but snaps up readily when it is in the sun on a
85F summer day.
Yet, even with a hot sun and stretching, you'll do very well to get even
1" more than on a 40F day. I speculate that the other cover is other the for a
different TR, or simply incorrectly sized.
