The Everflex hood on my car is a “snug” fit but not excessively tight. The tensioning does seem to stretch the stitching holes and water seeps through, showing up as damp areas. Seam sealer needed again. The worst lift the dots to fit in winter are the outer ones on the screen side. I also replaced the press studs on the door rear parts with Tenax as the tension popped them loose.
