hatch covers

Hi, After I completed fiberglassing my expedition. I cut out my hatch covers.
They look great, but I messed up. I took a break and left the hatch covers off the deck for a few months. Oh Oh when I got back to the job I found that the hatch covers had flattened a bit. Now I tried trying ratcheting straps around the kayak trying to bend the covers back into shape but they just spring back.
Any suggestions. Thanks Edmo
