<VV> boot advice

[Bruce]

I hate to stray from the now popular discussion about Corsa Pros & Cons, but I need some "technical" advice.
 I have a 1963 Monza convertible, with excellent Kameleon Paint and a new white top. It is a (fair weather , here in the frozen North) daily driver. I have the original Lt blue,parade boot, which matches the original upholstery. It has apparently shrunk over the years. It is now about 1 to 2 inches short of being able to be snapped in place. Has anyone else had this problem, and can it be "stretched" enough to fit. Open to all suggestions. I already know that I can buy a new one so pass on that. I would rather use this orig.  for now, unless there is no other way. Thanx to any help.
