    Anyone have suggestion with stretching and getting the snap tonneau cover back on my truck. Bed? I tried hot water as a trick before but now I have hard time with the side by the tailgate. Any suggestions??? It seem like it shrunk.

    Best suggestion. Leave in hot sun for a few hours

    Have not heard of the “snap” kind in quite a while. Classic!

    One day, that sucks! Have you tried using an extra set of hands or maybe two of your buddies?

    I don’t doubt that it’s stiff due to age and maybe I’m misunderstanding the problem. It’s off, you want it back on, but when you try to button everything up, the last bit won’t stretch to where it’s supposed to be secured?
    If that’s the case, have you tried asking a cpl of buddies to help pull on that last bit with you, to make it stretch back to where you can button it? I’m aware you may have tried this, if so disregard and best of luck. I don’t have any more ideas, but maybe there’s someone out there that has had a similar problem…

    Try the corners first. So one button on each side of each corner then the field buttons. It easier to stretch the length of the cover vs 6” between buttons.
