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. 9A),
first extrusion from the top of the access bracket, is used for regular clearance. The higher position (Fig. 10A),
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. 7), use the first extrusion from the top of the extension bracket method
(Fig. 9A).
1. Slide an access bracket onto an access plate at the appropriate position (Fig. 9A or Fig. 10A) at both
ends of the slide room.

Installing the 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. 11A).
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. 11B).

4. Remove packaging from the roll tube and unroll a small portion of the fabric, no more than one turn.
Unrolling the fabric more than one turn will cause the slide topper 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".
