I believe that over the years different types of fabric have been used by FWC. Is this a rubberized type material or more like a canvas? If it's not a rubber type and you washed it while off the camper then perhaps it did shrink. If this is the case then perhaps try getting it damp and see if it will give a little although this seems like a pretty big gap in the photo.
A couple more thoughts, how are the other 3 corners winning up? Perhaps the camper framing at the top is not an exact rectangle. Try turning it around and see if it fits any better.
Good luck!

Man.. I have rebuilt a couple campers and I highly doubt you could re-use the old canvas. You have to cut it long so that you have some way to pull it down tight to install the bottom trim piece. Then, you trim the excess off... The material for new canvas isn't too expensive, however, sewing in the screens, windows etc is a pain...

Have you seen Tim's videos on the sideliner project? You may find some tips.
