Tonno cover modifications?

Hey guys, I've got a blackmax snap-on tonno cover on my 2000 CC Dak. I'm a
drummer and need to transport my set in the bed. Unfortunately, my bass drum is
about 2 inches too high to slip under the back rail. Dammit! So, what I have
been able to do is unsnap the back corners, remove the rail (and the rear rib)
and slip the drum underneith. THen the rail goes back on and the corners get
snapped down. The cover doesn't really have to stretch much cuz it's about the
height of the ribs anyway. I hope I didn't lose anyone yet.....
So, this is a big pain in the butt. Has anyone ever modified their cover to lift
up and clamp down on the fly like the solid covers do? I was either thinking of
that or how about shimming the cover by 2" all around the bed? How stupid would
that look? Any ideas would be appreciated. I know I should have a cap instead,
but I'm not ready to pay for that yet. Thanks.

Bob in NJ
