the cover, I don't think. If it were a stretching or alignment issue,
wouldn't more snaps be giving me trouble?
You might have a defective snap,or you may just have to tug at it and try
to snap it for a few days. It should stretch out for ya.
I will try to find someone to help me check the frame squareness, just
to be safe.
Just measure it from diagonal corners to check for squareness. They should be
equal
