Mine shrinks every winter.
Leaving it out in the sun makes it softer and easier to stretch.
There should be a fastener on theside of the pasenger seat to attach the
strap from the tonneau to. If the seat has been recovered, they probably
didn't put it back on. I got one from TRF. All the major suppliers should
have the snaps.
