Eph, you crak me up!

You could try bringing that cover into the house for a while to warm up, put it on a heat vent for a while. Maybe it'll warm up enough to stretch out a bit.

Or, buy a rolltop cover.

LOL eph1fifty, I don't mean to laugh at your predicament but I can totally see where your coming from, I can just see myself doing the same thing, ROFL.
<THROWING IT ON THE FLOOR, JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON IT, CURSING A LOT, THEN YELLING AT MY NEIGHBOR SAYING "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU LOOKING AT *****? DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!!!" then once he cowers back to his house, proceeding to jump and swear a lot, then get pissed at myself because I just jumped on and broke in the process an expensive part... mental institution shows up with a comfortable white jacket with no pockets, LOL.>

Damn, I did it again!
I hate when work interferes with my internet browsing!

 

LOL yeah I forgot about my neighbors mattbert. They knew I was nuts ever since the time I came running towards them with a baseball bat yelling and screaming!*


*Happens to be one of those "import tuners" or "Riceboys"

 

Whoa eph1fifty! Have you ever heard of PETA?

Well they have a branch known as PETA PETS.

People for Ethical Treatment And Protection of Extang Tonneau Systems

If they see the photos you posted of this senseless slaughter....

Please don't leave the carcass on the ground to rot like that. At least donate it to a soup kitchen so someone will have a decent meal tonight.

 

LOL, I've never quite done that to my neighbors, but I do get them to come out of their houses quite frequently after hearing my screaming quite loudly at my vehicle. This typically happens when I'm trying to turn one of those bolts in a highly in-accessible location and its just slightly warped. Typically happens when I'm trying to do this and it's cold out and I want to get it done and get back inside. A good example is the oil filter. I scream at that thing all the time. My 98 it was so easy... remote oil filter, super simple. Then they decide to make it completely inaccessibly for my 2000 .

Typically it comes out something like
TURN! TURN! OUCH MY KNUCKLES! *** ******!!!! ******* PIECE OF ****, I DIDN'T SAY SIT THERE AND NOT MOVE... TURN!!! OUCH!!! *** ******!!!!!!!!! HEY!! GET BACK IN YOUR HOUSE AND GET THE **** OUT OF MY YARD!!! IM CHANGING MY ******* OIL HERE!!!
They already kinda think I'm white trash though... I live in a fairly upscale community, I have a beat up old Ford Explorer in the backyard next to the big woodpile, practically on blocks, and I spend lots of time working on my car in the driveway yelling at my neighbors LOL. The rollbar is going in this weekend and its supposed to be 40 degrees, so there'll probably be another fair amount of yelling .
