[TR] shrunk vinyl

[dave northrup]

Barn find tr3 included a hood stick cover, tonneau, and a top.   They all are beyond tight.  They were too small to get more than one or two snaps on.

As an experiment, I put the hoodstick cover in the pool, which is currently running about 88 degrees (it sits in the sun in Dallas!)  Left it in there for an hour or two.  Took a cheap thin plastic tarp (like for painting) and put it over the cockpit (don't want to encourage rust!) and tried it on.  had to use a little heat on the edges and a little more force here and there but it pretty much fit.  Hit it with the heat gun a bit just for good measure.  Going to leave it there for a few days.  I'm going to try this same thing with the tonneau, and plan to leave it out in the Texas sun all day once I get it on (if I get it on???)
