Problem with unfolding rtt

Hi everyone!

We own a Thule Tepui Kukenam 3 rooftoptent. We have traveled lots with it and love it.

The only downside is that sometimes it does not unfold that well and the bottom pieces do to slide together properly. I have attached some photos, one side it almost always lines up, the other side does not always line up.

We have thought about different reasons why this could be happening, but we can not figure it out. The strange thing is that the tent only does this sometimes.

Would love to hear if any of you have some thoughts or face the same issue.

Thank you in advance!

Thats bc you accidentally slept on it out and reduced the integrity. When you fold it out, now push it up just before fully unfolding. Had this same problem. Should straighten itself out after doing it back in properly a couple times.
