My original canopy was circa 2007. I installed it 2012. it was already rather brittle and cracked when I overtightened it to the frame. The replacement canopy I purchased in 2013 was much more rubbery. So far, its still crack free and fine. I would expect after as many years as you have seen, that it might get old and brittle like I too have become.
