This was explained to us when we picked up a new unit a few months ago. It was recommended to push down on the front corner (a-frame end) and secure the external latch at that end first. It gives you better leverage to give the lid a quick shove rearwards if necessary, which in turn helps the striker slip into place at the kitchen end.
Also, before folding the canvas back into the shell, make sure your mattresses etc aren't too close to the edges. That can stop the framework from folding back completely and makes the whole thing a pig to close properly.
