    I’d see about readjusting the tonneau. If the sun repeatedly heats that up it’s going to end up staying warped if it’s not already.

    Follow up! I couldn't take it anymore. The plastic wasnt actually warped but the plastic clips had all fatigued and failed, where they clip to the body. So I popped the covers off. Used isopropyl alcohol and cleaned the shit out of both surfaces. Then used VHB doublesided tape to stick them back down. I put the VHB along the out lip of the body so it made the most contact with the plastic.

    Downisde, this VHB tape is likely never coming off. Upside, neither are the plastic trim pieces!
