I know I've read in an older post that generally new, aftermarket covers, don't fit as precise as your original factory cover. However does this go a little above and beyond that?
With the cover squared up on two sides I get about an inch and a half overhang on the right side:
And about an inch and a half overhang on the backside:
Also, the "flaps" running along the bottom edge of the cover don't entirely cover the lip of my hot tub shell:
Finally, the gap where the two halves of the cover meet, I can feel a little heat coming out (hard to really tell since it's in the 90's today):
The old hot tub cover was replaced under warranty. Should I request another one be sent? Or is it natural for a replacement cover to fit semi-irregular like this?
