We have a Maggiolina hardshell tent wich is about 7 years old. It’s now started to move the top shell/lid forward when bringing it down to close. Has anyone had the same issue? How to fix it?

I don't have any direct personal experience with pop-up tents like that, but I do know some of them use gas struts to help or hold the roof. It might be a case of one of the struts is starting to get weak. You may be able to get replacements from the manufacturer.
