The hood on the one we had in Turkey didn't fit properly. I have a feeling they shrink a little with age. You might need to get yourself a new one.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

They can sometimes be very tight when cold. Put it somewhere warm for a bit to let it get nice and supple.

Put it somewhere warm for a while as dan said and work from the front back, make sure it's all on a square as possible at the front as that will help. They can be a nightmare bit the more times you take them off and refit them the easier it gets, I used to be able to fit mine in about 2 minutes on my own.
