Mine shrinks every winter.
Leaving it out in the sun makes it softer and easier to stretch.
There should be a fastener on theside of the  pasenger seat to attach the 
strap from the tonneau to.  If the seat has been recovered, they probably 
didn't put it back on.  I got one from  TRF.  All the major suppliers should 
have the snaps.
