All screws supporting the Slide Topper assembly MUST have a backer within the structure of the wall of the

Installing the Awning Rail
Awning rail included.
NOTE: Check the roof line to see if there is an awning rail pre-installed. If there is no awning rail pre-
installed, proceed to step one of this section. If there is an awning rail installed, 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 T-molding of the slide room the Solera® Slide Topper will cover. The awning rail
must be level and parallel with the top of slide room T-molding 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. 9), the awning rail must be a minimum of 4 1/2” to 7 1/2”
maximum above the T-molding of the slide room the Slide Topper will cover. The awning rail must
be level and parallel with the top of slide room T-molding of the unit.
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. 2A).
4. Align the awning rail on the wall and secure with #8 - 18 x 1” screws, using all fastener holes.
