Tonneau cover

[mikeb]

I have just gone to fit the tonneau cover and discovered that it isn't long enough to reach the studs that I previously fitted when I installed the hood. The hood was pulled down tight when fitted and the studs placed accordingly. But now they are about 30mm too far back and therefore the tonneau cover misses them. So have I cocked up the hood or am I supposed to fit new studs for the tonneau cover (which I dont think would look good)???

I almost had this problem with a tonneau Cover from C.R.. But I waited a very hot day of summer in sunshine to fit the tonneau cover and it worked.

I know they stretch a bit but this seems too far out!

Well, I think it was short of only 15 mm...

why not fit the studs at the front 30mm further back ?

Give the Trim Shop in Redditch a call(They make the tonneau covers for Dax) and tell them your problem. They might be able to sort out a longer tonny' on an exchange basis.
(I have never had to do this myself but it's cot to be worth a try)
Good luck.

Thanks Dave. That sounds like the best idea. I will call them today.
