Six Month Update/Report:

The black colored product tends to swell in direct sun and remains quite distorted once it cools back down.

A stiffer heavier material may be warranted.

I've replaced the hex screws/washers with slightly longer ones at locations where they were sneaking back up.

I've had the cover off once or twice, much faster/easier than removing a fabric one.

Maybe if the screw holes were much larger there would be half as much swelling/buckling as currently shown.

It works and that's all I care about.
