here is the manual's way. pushing out on pads between the top bows instead of letting the top fold in like it always wants to. (i just tried it on the other dart that still has most of the top on it and it sure did make a difference 4 inches in my case) it helps lower in about another 2 inches to get a smoother fit of the boot or in cases like myne the boot now does fit!
