Solera®Slider

Installation and Owner’s Manual

(For Aftermarket Applications)

CCD-0001264

Introduction

Solera®Sliders are a high-quality, cost-effective way to

help keep slide-outs free of dirt, leaves and debris. Solera

Sliders are permanently attached to the slide-out and

retract/extend with the room. The easy-to-install kits are

designed to fit rooms from 66" to 192" in length. All Solera

Slider fabric produced before August 2014 allows for a 58"

projection and all fabric produced after that date allows for

a 48" projection. The hardware hole pattern is universal

and will match most competitive brands, which alleviates

the need to patch holes.

• The Solera Slider kit comes complete with mounting

hardware.

• Awning rail included.

• All fabric is 6” shorter than slide topper length, which is

measured from centerline of torsion arm to centerline of

torsion arm.

• Box width is measured on the outside front of the box.

Include the T-molding for a proper fit.

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).

NOTE: Do not secure the second extension rod to the

spring head assembly torsion arm until the Solera Slider is

ready for installation on the unit.

Installation

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.

Installing the Awning Rail

Awning rail included.

1. Position the awning rail along the line where the roof and

wall meet or a minimum of 3” above the upper edge of the

slide room the Solera Slider will cover.

The awning rail must be level and parallel with the top of

slide room box 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.1A).

4. Align the awning rail on the wall and secure with

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

4. Remove packaging from the roll tube and unroll a small

portion of fabric, no more than one turn.

Fig.6

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the other end, but do not secure

the second hex extension rod to the spring head assembly

torsion arm until the Solera Slider is ready for installation

on the unit.

Installing the Solera Slider Assembly

1. To prepare for fabric installation, use a screwdriver to

spread open either end of the awning rail on the installation

end (Fig.5A).

2. To protect the fabric from damage during installation,

le any sharp edges or burrs from the awning rail.

3. Spray the inside of the awning rail channel with silicone

lubricant (Fig.5B).

3. Seal the back side of the extension rod bracket screw

holes with sealant so that the sealant is against the unit

when mounting the extension rod bracket.

4. Place the support arm bracket against the bottom

of the T-molding at the top corner of the slide-out.

Make sure to keep the support arm bracket parallel with

the T-molding. Fasten using the provided #10 - 16 x 1 ¼”

self-tapping screws (Fig.4).

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”.

5. Using at least two people, feed the polycord through the

awning rail channel (Fig.6A).

6. Feed one of the extension rods into the extension rod

bracket. By pulling the extension rod all the way into the

extension rod bracket, the opposite end extension rod can

now slide into the extension bracket or optional access

bracket at the opposite end.

7. Angle the extension rod so that the roll tube will not

be touching the slide room.

8. Secure the second extension rod to the spring head

assembly torsion arm using the provided 1/4” - 20 x 5/8”

slotted pan head, self-tapping screw (Fig.3).

9. Center the Solera Slider over the slide room using a

tape measure.

10. Fasten the extension rods to the extension rod brackets

by installing two of the provided #10 - 16 x ¾” self drilling

hex washer head screws in each extension rod bracket

(Fig.7A).

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.

11. Firmly hold the roll tube when removing the spring clip

to relieve spring tension.

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 in the awning rail no more than 1”

inside the edge of the fabric on both ends using a #6 x ½”

hex head screw. Install the screw down through the awning

rail into the fabric and the polycord (Fig.8).

Maintenance

Fabric Care

If the awning is retracted while wet, extend the awning

and let it dry as soon as conditions allow before

retracting. This will help prevent the formation of mildew

and add greatly to the life of the awning. Mildew does not

form on the fabric itself, but on the accumulated dust, dirt

and grime.

Periodically clean vinyl or woven acrylic fabric using a

mixture of ¼cup of dish soap and 5 gallons of warm

water. Liberally apply the mixture on the top of the fabric

and retract the awning for five minutes. This will apply

the mixture to the bottom of the fabric as well. Extend the

awning and hose off with fresh water. Repeat if necessary.

Allow fabric to dry before retracting.
