Try unzipping the tent front a little before you lower it. It helps to expel the air, but it also means that there's a slightly less strain when you open it next time.

A bit of lube on the moving bits may help too.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

tent fabric being stiff after a long cold winter? mechanism needs lubing therefore a bit more friction for the motors to overcome? motors getting a bit older?

I.m sure technical adjustments are available but in the early stages of Middle Aged Sticky Roof Syndrome the spray works for me,
