Joe,
Thanks for this tip (you are actually the second one). I never thought
of it until you guys suggested it but of course it makes perfect sense.
If I have trouble with the cover in the warmer weather, I will
definitely give the hair dryer trick a try.
One thing which puzzles me about all this "fitting" of tonneaus, what
kind of stress is imposed on the dash mounted pegs when a "stretched
with heat" cover begins to cool? Does the vinyl retain some of the
stretch in a more permanent way? If not I can envision the pegs being
over-stressed and then the dash gets the effect. Any opinions?
Thanks as usual,
Peter Zaborski
