so it wasn’t just my being off or careless. The alignment is JUST WRONG (all CAPS for emphasis) The removal of the routed area on the stiffener causes alignment to be off. Oh, don’t pre-cut the rod length to the directions!!!!!!!! Dry fit and cut as needed. I cut mine about an inch longer than directed and only had to remove a little to fit.
I only had one of the doors really bow out. I just couldn’t figure out how to accurately put enough tension on the strap. So, below is my solution. I added a backpack strap buckle to the provided strap. Now if conditions change over time, I can fix with a tug.
