and here I thought I was the only one with zipper issues!!! What's even worse, is trying to zip that cover on when its cold, raining or snowing!! I've had to stop, get in the cab of my truck - WARM UP, then head back out to finish..... The struggle is real!!!
I know!!! I've done that so much. Where you're sitting in the truck bending your tired fingers and they're so cold and stiff they don't move very fast. And you heat them up by the heater and they tingle and itch for the next 10-15 minutes.
Design elements like that are about cost rather than functionality; quality is a casualty of the elevation of maximum profit above all other considerations.

A hard sided tent with struts is the wat to go. Most have a 1 to 2 minute setup and maybe 2 to 3 minute take down. Cost is the one con, though.
I found recently that If you clip it in before you throw it over it saves all the hassle
LOL!. Yeah just get a Big Agnes ground tent and be done with it.
One of many reasons I have a Freespirit RTT...no zippers or velcro, just old school straps and buckles that work every time!
