    Yeah mine is like that along the entire top, like yours is at the back I mean. They need to shim my headboard and lean it forward to pull the tension. At least now I know it's not the rear tensioners and I can back those off the next time I have the curtains open, and get it back to where I can close them with just my hand

    So I ended up backing off those tensioners and now I can close everything with my hands, but I still have the issue with the flapping curtains. Will I just have to take it back to them and have them readjust it?

    Sounds like it. There will be some moevement of the curtain; how much are you getting? The heavier you load it, the tighter you’ll want to have the system to make up the difference.

    All my movement is at the top. And it's pretty excessive, 4-5 inches off the sides of the trailer. My tarp stays later straight near the bottom, a tiny flutter, but at the top it almost looks like a parachute. I'm parked for the night now just give me a sec and I'll snap a pic

    I’d want the top tighter than that as well.
