My car has 4 bolts holding the toneau cover on. It also has 4 bolts holding the trunk lid on. Have you tried loosening the toneau cover bolts and sliding it forward and loosening the trunk bolts and moving the trunk back?

I posted this on another thread:

How old are your trunk-lid support struts? If they are weak, it can throw off the alignment of the lid. So make sure those are in good shape before you do any adjusting. I spent several hours adjusting mine last year, and sometime later replaced my struts and it changed the alignment. So I had to re-adjust it all over again. The funky hinges on these things have a little bit of play in them, so the strength or weakness of the struts can affect the fit.
