Did my top shrink?

rasbury

I have a fairly new camper inclosure. I had the front part made summer before last (yes, summer did end even here in FL, 56 friggin degrees) and the back half was done finally in June. I brought it home for about a week and left it up which my guy said was a good idea. 4th of July I used it overnight no issues and then the boat broke down so for 3 months it was parked. The covers are stored flat in the midship bearth. It really stays pretty cool down underneath. I brought it home after we ran it last weekend to tinker a bit so I wanted to put up the enclosure....I can't get it on! Is there an order to put the parts on that pull the frame a certain direction? The only way I could pull the frame down to snap the sides was to undo the main pole where it mounts to the side- really odd! I don't know how anything could have been bent, does not looked bent-really stumped!

When it is cold, the tops are really tough to get on.

Yes they do shrink a little, especially the vinyl windows and the vinyl coated tops.

I've had it out in the sun and has been warm all week. I'm not saying hard to get on, won't on unless I undo the sin poles on the front. I'm afraid it will tear it! !

Well, fudged around with it and got it. It must have shrunk a little but sounds normal,whew!

Next time don't put it in in the morning when it's 56 at 8 am. Wait till 11am when it's 80. Lol
