How to Add Tension to Solera Slide-Topper
Question:
How do you put more tension on topper? When it rains the water stays on top of the topper and makes it sag. Thanks for your help

Expert Reply:
When installing/adjusting the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000163285 tension is applied by rotating the awning roller 14 times. This should apply the needed spring tension so that the fabric doesn't billow in the wind or leave enough slack that it sags when collecting some rain water.
Also make sure that you have at least a slight decline from the awning rail to the end of the fabric so that water can flow off the awning.

Looking at the slide out, the right side has lost all tension. Left side is still under tension. How do I reset tension on one side?
