[Tigers] Tonneau doesn't quite fit

[Stu Brennan]

My tonneau is original, at least it was with the car when I got it in '77. 
The technique I use is quite simple, but it takes a bit of time.

Attach the tonneau at the front, then wait a bit.  How long?  For me, its 
until the first really warm sunny day in the spring.  Then I can stretch it 
enough to get the rear snaps in.

Most times I use it, though, I don't attach it at the front.  The door ones 
do enough of a job to hold it in place.

Hello,

Over the years, the tonneau that I have has shrunk a bit.
Using it jeopardizes the male fasteners on the body and actually just
won't quite fit.  Worst spot is the pair on either side of the zipper  under
the windshield.

Are there any techniques anyone knows to "stretch" it just a bit?
It seems so wasteful (and expensive) to buy a new one...

Happy New Year to all,
