Default That was Difficult!

Okay well it's almost been a year that i have owned the S, and well i have never put on the tonneau cover, until now!

Anyways, that suck was hard to get on!! Do any of you find it difficult to put it on? Or is it just the first time or something? (the hardest part in putting it on was the first two snap on things behind the seats, the other straps on the side were easy). For some reason the first two snap on things seemed not to align well, and i had to pull a bit to wedge it over. I hope i am not ruining anything !

Oh yeah, it's really hard to fit my hands, and arm under the cover putting the first two snaps.

That is precisely why I don't use it. It's way too much hassle.

Sean was kind enough to show some of us how to get it on a while back, but I still never successfully put mine on.

Well considering it was the first time i have put the cover on, it didnt take too long. I think it should be easier next time. But i may not put it back on ever again because when i took it off to put the top back on cuz it was night time, it seemed as though the top didnt come as close to the latches as it usually does.

Any of you notice this at all?

It could be because the colder temperature caused the top to stiffen up and become harder to close. It's the same thing when you try to lower the top in the cold. The top wouldn't go down completely.

yeah i know what you are trying to say, but whenever in the cold i have never had any problems raising the top. Do you think it might be because, when the cover was on the top got squished come and compressed it more, so when it was raised it just didnt come as close? make any sense?

Makes sense.

I would suggest you not push the top down if it doesn't want to go lower by itself sometimes.

I don't use the tonneau because I didn't get the tonneau when I bought my S used.
