Default BRa and Lid covers

Is there any way of streching the lid covers so that they fit easier? Right now it is like trying to put a cat in a buckeet water...On the bat wing bra is there supoposed to some extra bra above the trim ring on the windshield?

Make sure its warm and they stretch more, don't know about the other bits.

Lay them out in the sun for about an hour before installing them helps a lot!

...... throw'm in the dryer for a minute before installing & they'll stretch out nice & smooth. BE a bit careful stretching them tight though, as they cool they'll shrink back a bit &.... particularly in summer..... can loosen the adhesive on the velcro attachment points under the bag lids

Put my mustang lid covers in the dryer for a couple of minutes, did the trick. Had to "tweak" them a couple of times to get the seams in the right place, but they fit like a glove now.
