Cargo cover flapping fix

It seems that no matter how tight you pull your canvas cover to tie it down you always seem to get some flapping of the roof section against the bows. Well, when I was having a rip repaired in my canvas cover from the flapping, I had the canvas shop add two extra eyelets to each end of the cover. I can then use the end ropes to pull through the tiedowns on the tailgate and front of the box to go back up to the cover and get a little bit extra pull directly on the ends. This helps pull the sagging out which redueces the flapping. Here are a few pics to show how I did it. It made a huge difference in the amount of flapping the cover does while driving at greater speeds.
