If the dampers start to unscrew it can cause an issue too.

I've seen canopy pins worn down to about only 25% metal left and the slide hook does not have an issue.
It has everything to do with it because when the pins wear, the canopy sags and lowers but the hooks stay where they are and the tolerance widens. Geometry changes.

Dampers unscrewing have nothong to do with it either. They just slow the top down.
