Bimini Top Issue

[dennison17]

Does anyone else have issues with putting up the Bimini top on the newer R4's? I have the Bimini "Easy-Fold" and have the frame fully extended forward to give it as much extension as possible. The canvas opens and unfolds just fine, but I have to hang on the front supports in order to get them aligned and clipped in. And yes, I know the front supports are "adjustable". I have them fully extended in order to even get close to aligning the clip-in's and clicking them into the brackets mounted on the hull. It takes two adults each time.
The dealer says this is normal and the fabric will stretch over time, but it's been two years of occasional use and no sign of stretching.

Anyone else experience this? Any remedies?

Thanks!
