OK, this may sound silly, but what is the best way to get the tonneau cover on and off my TR6? I have a new cover, and it is really tight. I managed to get it on by putting the front snaps on first, and then working my way around to the back. It took a long time, and would be pretty hard to do in the real world.

I presume it will stretch a bit once we get some hot sunny days, but in the meantime is there anything I can do?

Thnaks for asking the question - wish I could help. Picking up my first TR6 next week. It has a tonneau cover also, so I hope someone answers your question. Larry

Eh, mine is pretty tight--I always do the pegs in front first, and stretch towards the back.  You want it tight, if you drive with the passenger side closed up--which, unless I have a passenger, is the way mine normally is.

It should get easier as it ages. Smiley

It's def. easier to do in warm weather--forget about it when you get below freezing.

Thanks for your suggestion. I managed to wrestle mine on that way a couple of days ago, and found it went easier when I did it again yesterday. Also discovered I can remove the cover and raise the hood in under 4 minutes if it is raining. Didn't even empty the pool of water on the cover into the interior. I'm very proud of myself...  Grin
