Expert Reply:
The tension for the Solera slide toppers is set by the amount of winds that the roller has before it's installed. I would recommend (if you are really careful) taking a couple winds out of yours and then reconnecting it and see if that gives you the tension you want.
The recommended amount of winds is 12 to 16 for reference.
