When this started happening to me (yes I have a tonneau that is normally 
open on the drivers side for driving) I noticed that the LTD post was 
slightly bent over in the direction of the pull on the tonneau. That is 
slightly back and towards the pass side. I straightened it and have had 
no more trouble. I also snug the pass side where it attaces to the bottom 
of the windscreen frame by "closing" the vent window latch on it to hold 
it in place. Just gotta remember to open it BEFORE opening the door.
