flagstaff 205 full size door

I purchased a 2021 flagstaff 205 in july of 2020 and am having problems with my full size door that hangs on the ceiling. when i put up the pop up it does not fit properly. it did at first and each time i go camping it gets harder and harder to get a correct fit. it no longer closes properly. any suggestions?
Thanks,
Charlie

As with any pop-up, being level is extremely important.

If the weight of the top is shifted one direction or another it can dramatically alter being squared up and putting in the door.

Is that what you're noticing?

Mine requires the red tell-tale roof height wire to be wicked taut for the door to fit into the opening vertically.

Can you describe with more detail your issue with fit? Horizontal or vertical issues? Pics?

thanks for your help. when i raise my pop up and it is balanced (using a bubble balance on 4 sides) and tension string is taunt, my door does not fit correctly and will not close properly. when i first got the trailer in july it worked fine but each time i set it up it seems to get worse every time... seems like things r changing.
thanks

But the thing that's changing probably isn't the door. Slap a square on it, it's probably fine. Next time you set it up, measure the posts- are they all extending the same length?

You haven't given us any of the requested details to really help.

What needs to change about the door or the opening to allow it to fit better?

Is the mismatch in height, width, or angle? (i. e.: Is the opening or the door a parallelogram instead of a rectangle?)
