The best temperature for setting snap locations is the temperature that 
you are most likely to erect it. If you are likely to put up the top to 
protect from cold that is the best temperature to set the snaps.  I've 
seen several cars that had top snaps set on a hot summer day and on cool 
days were set up with some snaps left unsnapped because they will not 
reach on cold days.

Same with the tonneau.  Set the snaps at the average temperature that 
you are likely to mount the tonneau on your car.

Our venders used to supply parts that fit.  I purchased my tonneau and 
soft top in the 1980's and they fit just fine.  It is time to remind 
them that parts should fit our vehicles.
