Installation

NOTE: All screws supporting the awning assembly MUST have a backer within the structure of the wall

of the unit. Refer to unit manufacturer for proper location.

NOTE: The slide-out of the unit that the Solera Slide Topper is being installed on should not be opened

more than 8".

Installing the Awning Rail (If Necessary)

NOTE: Awning rail not included.

NOTE: Check the roof line to see if there is an awning rail pre-installed. If there is not, proceed to step one

of this section. If there is, proceed to the next section of this manual.

1. Position the awning rail along the line where the roof and wall meet or a minimum of 3" to 6"

maximum, above the upper edge of the slide room the awning will cover. The awning rail must be

level and parallel with the floor line of the unit.

NOTE: If mounting the Solera Slide Topper access plate on the T-molding, see "Installing Solera Slide

Topper Access Plate" section (Fig.6), the awning rail must be a minimum of 4 ½" above the upper

edge of the slide room the awning will cover.

2. After determining the awning rail's proper location, mark its position with a non-permanent

method of marking.

3. Apply sealant to the back of the awning rail (Fig.1A).Align the awning rail on the wall and secure with

#8 - 18 X 1”screws, using all fastener holes.

Resources Required

• 1-2 people, depending on task

• Cordless or electric drill or screw gun

• Appropriate drive bits

• Screwdriver

• (2) #6 x ½" hex head screws

• ⁄” Hex key wrench

• Tape measure

• Silicone sealant or butyl tape

• Silicone lubricant

Always wear eye protection when performing service, maintenance or installation procedures.

Other safety equipment to consider would be hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face

Installing the Solera Slide Topper Access Plate

The access plate (Fig. 4) can be mounted with the flat edge (Fig. 4A) at the top or bottom, depending on

which option allows for a more square installation on the unit.

Assemble the Extension Rod and Cap

1. Slide the extension rod (Fig. 2A) into the spring head assembly torsion arm (Fig. 2B), aligning the

fastener locations (Fig. 2).

2. Slide the spring head assembly torsion arm end cap (Fig. 2C) into the extension rod (Fig. 2A), aligning

all three fastener locations (Fig. 2). Fasten using the provided 1/4” - 20 x 5/8” slotted pan head,

self-tapping screw (Fig. 3).

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the opposite end.

1. Install the access plate below the T-molding (Fig. 5) or on the T-molding (Fig. 6).

A. If installing below the T-molding, start on one side of the front of the slide-out by placing one of the

two access brackets (Fig. 5A) against the bottom of the T-molding at the top corner of the slide-out

(Fig. 5B) as close to the corner as possible. Keep the mounting bracket parallel with the bottom edge of

the T-molding.

NOTE: There might be a slight gap between the T-molding side and the side of the mounting bracket

(Fig. 5C) if the corner does not have a 90 degree angle.

B. If installing on the T-molding, start on one side of the front of the slide-out by placing one of the two

access brackets (Fig. 6A) at the very bottom corner of the T-molding, (Fig. 6B) as close to the outside of

the T-molding as possible without going over the corner mold (Fig. 6C).

NOTE: Make sure the screws do not go over the roof line.

2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the slide-out exterior wall using the five provided #10 -13 x 1 1/4”

recessed square head screws (Fig. 7).

Falling slide topper access brackets can cause personal injury, product and/or property damage.

Slide topper access brackets are installed loose on the access plate until nal installation. Make sure

access brackets are secure enough to prevent falling from the access plate.

Installing the Solera Slide Topper Access Bracket

NOTE: The Solera Slide Topper Access Bracket can be installed in two different positions. The lower

position (Fig. 8A), first extrusion from the top of the access bracket, is used for regular clearance.

The higher position (Fig. 9A), second extrusion from the top of the access bracket, is used if the

slide topper requires extra clearance.

NOTE: If installing the slide topper access plate on the T-molding, see "Installing Solera Slide Topper Access

Plate" section (Fig.6), use the first extrusion from the top of the access bracket method (Fig. 8A).

1. Slide an access bracket onto an access plate at the appropriate position (Fig. 8 or Fig. 9) at both ends

of the slide room.

Installation of Solera Slide Topper Assembly

1. To prepare for fabric installation, use a screwdriver to spread open either end of the awning rail on the

installation end (Fig. 10A).

2. To protect the fabric from damage during installation, file any sharp edges or burrs from the awning rail.

3. Spray the inside of the awning rail channel with silicone lubricant (Fig. 10B).

Unrolling the fabric more than one turn will cause the slider to lose tension and create slack when closing

the slide room. Make sure to leave the slide room closed or not to extend more than 6”.

Fig. 10

4. Remove packaging from the roll tube and unroll a small portion of fabric, no more than one turn.

5. Using at least two people, feed the polycord (Fig. 11A) on the fabric through the awning rail

channel (Fig. 11B).

Rev: 03.26.20 Page 8 CCD-0001371

6. Feed one of the extension rods (Fig. 12A) into an access bracket (Fig. 12B). By pulling the extension

rod all the way into the access bracket, the opposite end extension rod can now slide into the access

bracket at the opposite end.

NOTE: If needed, the access brackets can slide left or right to assist in getting both extension rods into the

access brackets.

7. Position the extension rod so that the roll tube will not be touching the slide room.

NOTE: Make sure the access bracket (Fig. 9A) is flush with the access plate (Fig. 9B) attached above

or below the T-molding of the slide-out.

8. Install the two provided 1/4” - 20 x 1/2” set screws in the top two holes of the access bracket (Fig. 13A)

if using the lower position (Fig. 8). Install two set screws in the lower two holes of the access bracket

(Fig. 14A) if using the higher position (Fig. 9).

9. Center the Solera® Slide Topper over the slide room using a tape measure.

Roll tube springs are under tension. Improperly secured roll tube springs can cause personal injury

and/or product damage. Slowly release spring tension to avoid personal injury and/or product damage.

10. Fasten the extension rods (Fig. 15A) to the access brackets (Fig. 15B) by installing two of the provided

#10 - 16 x 3/4” self-drilling hex washer head screws (Fig. 15C).

11. Firmly hold the roll tube, slightly turn back the roll-tube to relieve a little tension, then remove the

spring clip to completely relieve the spring tension. Carefully release the roll tube and allow the roll

tube to rest into position.

Securing the Fabric

1. Extend and retract the room several times to ensure that the fabric is square on the roll tube.

2. Secure the fabric (Fig. 14A) in the awning rail (Fig. 16B) no more than 1" inside the edge of the fabric on

both ends using an OEM supplied #6 x 1/2" hex head screw (Fig. 16C). Install the screw (Fig. 16C) down

through the awning rail (Fig. 16B) into the fabric (Fig. 16A) and the polycord (Fig. 16D).

Troubleshooting

What is Happening What Should Be Done?

Fabric sags or is loose. Check tension on springs.

Make sure the end caps are properly secured.

Fabric will not roll up. Check tension on springs.

Fabric will not unroll. Make sure the pins that lock the tension for install have been removed from

both ends of the end caps.

Fabric appears to roll up

at an angle.

Make sure the rail that is mounted to the unit is square with the main housing

of the slide topper.

Make sure fabric is cut square.
