Any thoughts on either stretching the canvas or are there tools that will help me snap it?
thanks

Also, I know there is a product that you can apply to rejuvenate the water repellancy but I can't remember what it is...

Have you looked at these "Extend-a-snap" ? I have a similar problem and I use 3 to reduce the tension on the canvas so the seam won't imprint on the boat seat. I think they have them at Parafunalia but you can certainly get them online or at a Boat US store.
As for the "restorer" the one most recommended (by Sunbrella even) is 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.
