Mike,
Mike,
Just a quck note, I had a problem about a year ago, when I
armor all'd my boot cover. It shrank, and would not fit at first.
- it took a lot of stretching, but eventually I got it to fit, but is
still very tight. Just be careful, I could not believe this would
happen, but other listers confirmed it at that time. Someone
recommended the use of baby oil (Johnson's type) and I've been
using that since. The vinyl really sucks it up. This may not help
in your case - it kind of reconditions the dullness, but obviously
does not color it.
Thought this might help.

Hello all,
After a winter of safe storage, I pulled my tonneau's out for their
first fittings. None of my full tonneaus fit at all - I guess I'm going
to
buy a new one. My problem is with my parade boot. I have one that fits
very well, without any tears or cracking, but the vinyl has faded to grey
in
spots. Has anyone succeeded in getting the color back to black? Armor
All
just makes it shiny...would black shoe polish work? TIA
