All previous are good suggestions. Have you inspected the sail slugs for deformity and/or damage? Do they move freely where attached to the sail? Are you raising the main by hand or a winch, which (LOL winch which)may allow you too snug it up the last few inches, especially if there's any tension. fwiw.
