I doubt the eisenglass has shrunk. The Sunbrella fabric may have shrunk but it should also stretch back. Try wetting the Sunbrella panels before installation. You can also adjust the frame to reduce some tension. I don't like fighting with my camper enclosure so I put it up in the fall and take it down in the spring. During the winter I roll up the panels when using the boat.
 
I have never heard of replacement canvas costing $7000 on a 29' boat. I paid $1800 for a custom camper enclosure. That price did not include the bimini top or screens. It did include the rear SS frame.
 
Great Lakes makes a good product. What I don't like about their camper enclosures is the poor visibility. They use more canvas and less vinyl. Backing into my slip with the Great Lakes side and rear panels down wasn't possible as I couldn't see the dock. I had my custom enclosure made with the max amount of vinyl. The difference in visibility is significant.
