    Well..I'm gonna revive it again. Now...I know the fabric is gonna stretch when it heats up. BUT...here's my problem. My windows don't want to fit. There's a huge gap between the zipper on the window and the zipper on the top.

    yea wait for it to heat up, then zip the other side just a little, enough to hold the window, then zip up the other side a little, and go little by little on each side

    Take the tension off of the top. You can leave the front corners on but I unhook the back corners. Zip the side windows on. Then you can start hooking everything back up working from the sides to the back.

    The problem is that I can't get the zipper to reach. If the front zipper is engaged, the rear zipper is like 2 inches from touching, and vice-versa.
