Just tried this as an experiment, taking some of the slack out of the bungees. Definitely helped, and may serve as a temporary fix until getting around to replacing the bungees. I took a 1/4 copper slip joint and a zip tie (pic1), and positioned the copper tube behind the bungee, closing the zip tie around it (pic2). Then I took a second zip tie to "pinch" the bungee cords behind the copper tube, taking up some of the slack (pic3) & pulling the zip tie tight. Little bit of a tight squeeze getting it back in between the roof frame tubing. I did wrap the copper tube in some duct tape to cover the ends so as to avoid rubbing against the top or other structures. Thought this might help give someone else some ideas.
