Boilardz,
As I stated in my posts, ..... open the top from the driver's door lock switch, which allows you to reach across the roof as it folds straight up, and pull that 5th bow towards the front of the car, before the tonneau cover opens and clips it.
Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it is what it is. If you're not willing to do this ... then either live with the issue, or replace the bungee cords for the 5th bow.
I've wondered if its possible for those of us with stretched 5th bow bungee cords, .... if its possible to fold parts of those bungee cords back onto themselves and zip tie them shorter, ... thereby shortening them, making them do their job as intended when new, and preventing the tonneau cover strikes that are so common, and also preventing the need to buy new bungee cords?
Is there someone willing to give it a try??? Keep us posted!
