fabric degrades quickly

I loved this tent the first year I had it. It was superlight, and I loved to zip down the door all the way in the morning and be able to look out at ground zero. When I first used it, rain would only come in if it was driven by a very strong wind. Moderate, even hard rain was fine, if a little came in (it usually didn't) I would wipe it off with a pack towel. It had some condensation, but it wasn't bad.
After a couple years, about 3 months of use, the fabric had degraded to the point of dysfunction. A moderate rain would drench it. The last time I used it I was soaked. Our 2-night camp turned into a 1 nighter as we were too cold and wet.
