After HOURS of arguing, I did some shrinking on the bottom side and I now have it mostly the right shape, and not oil caning. It definitely moves a little freer than the other side, but it will hold its shape.
I was fighting this on my roof. that really sucks. hope i have it ok now. yours looks much better than mine I'm sure
