Yeah thats normal for that to happen. The cloth/vinyl will contract with the cold weather when folded down...best thing is to sponge it down with some pretty warm/hot water and it will stretch out again after a while.

Either that or leave it out in the sun next bright sunny day....whenever that may be.... :wink:

actually forecast is for milder weather to come this week.

Good luck, regards John.
