I was wondering the same thing. Too many years in close proximity to a reactor I presume

We almost bought a new 2011 from a dealership and I noticed this problem on the cover - it had never been used. We ended up buying a 2012 a few weeks ago and it shows NO signs of this problem (yet).
Dealership said they knew of a customer who lost his 2011 cover at just over 100 mph.

Mine just started doing it yesterday. Probably heat/sun related. Mine is the old style. Car built 4/2011

yup mine is doing it too. I dont use the dammed thing because it wont stay on, and I dont want to constantly have to look in the rear mirror to see if its ganna fly off and hit another car.

I would love for them to replace this piece of junk cover. When I go to shows, I would like something covering the top, ive had to clean bird crap off a few times becuase its not covered.

I'm assuming you have the old style. I haven't had trouble with mine coming off. Be sure the clips actually clip on the bolts. The new one has bungy chords instead of clips. Someone on this forum added a strip of velcro on the front side where it tucks behind the back seat.

If you are still in warranty have them replace it. The tonneau was redesigned for 2012 and stays put a lot better than the 2011 tonneau.
