How Many Times to Wind Solera Slide Topper for Proper Tension
Question:
At the end of the slide topper installation, I took the keeper pins out of the ends. I rolled the topper back to relive tension and the left pin came out easily and with no issues. On the right one, however, after rolling the topper back to relive tension, I pulled the pin out with great difficulty. When it came out, the spring unwound and the topper came out of the arm. Did I break something inside? Can this just be rewound and if so how??

Expert Reply:
Put the pin back in and wind it 12-16 times rolling it towards the camper to put the correct tension in the slide topper # LCV000163285 before installing it. This will give you the correct amount of tension for extending and retracting the awning.

Do you wind both ends of a solera topper if the tension is off the spring and do you wind both ends the direction towards the camper
