Did you check the tension on your back stay or the straightness of the mast. If your mast is 'bent' aft from the hounds it could cause a crease.

But most probably the bolt rope if the sail is aged. When I did my bolt rope the top four inches of the main had to be folded over and stitched to allow it to be hoisted properly.
