The first symptom i noticed when my frame started to fail was my upper bunk hitting the roof (because the roof wasn't elevated as much as it should be).  The second symptom was a loose canvas.  I think the half centimetre or whatever it is that it's sagging because it's cut through the crossbar resulted in both of those symptoms.
