Replacement Tarp For a Extang Blackmax Tonneau Cover On a 1999 Toyota Tacoma with 6'2" Bed

Question:

I have a 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck that I bought an Extang Black Max , short bed 6 black tonneau cover in 2005. 2 questions is the EX31790 replacement cover the correct one for my truck? Secondly...cover is tight fit but I can get it snapped all around in summer snaps are in loose fitting configuration time with the sun heating it up. Not so much this time of year, its about 3/4inch shorter now in the cool. Is there something I can apply to this 19 yr old cover to help rejuvenate and stretch it to snap shut without a 90 deg summer sun? Appreciate any help you can give Paul Davis ped7050@yahoo.com PS: did not buy this from you folks...place in Michigan went out of business apparently.

The Replacement Tarp # EX1870 fits the Extang Blackmax Tonneau cover 2870 which was the fit for your 1999 Toyota Tacoma with the 6'2" bed. The Tarp # EX31790 you found is for a Classic Platinum tonneau which is a different model tonneau.

We have the Extang Tonno Tonic Protectant Spray # EX1181 which will help condition the vinyl and protect it from the UV rays which dry it out and cause it to shrink and crack.
