The cockpit cover has been folded up in a box for the last 7-1/2 years. When I bought the TR, it fit very well. Maybe a bit snug, but there were no problems getting it snapped on or off.
Fast forward all this time and I can't quite get the darn thing on. Yes the windshield has come off and is back on, but using all the original screw holes. Ditto the snaps.
So the STBD side fits great, the port side, not so much. The corners have pull loops sewn into them so I tied a rope from the Port aft corner down to the port bunk mounted "Boat Buckle" and cranked (ratcheted) it into place (see picture).
I've tried wetting it down, heating it, but I've gotten very little give from it.
Other than leaving it on in an overstretched position for several months and hoping for the best, does any one have any suggestions?
