My 2005 Seneca 35 GS did not come with slide toppers over the bedroom or dining room slideouts. Thinking of having them added to help protect from debris and water, especially water... It is a real pain to try to dry the top of the slides so water does not come into the unit once things are retracted. Have had a couple of experiences where water comes rolling off the slide and into the unit.

Question... Any comments on their effectiveness? What about when the winds pick up? I am a little concerned I may need to pull the slides back in when the wind picks up, which would make the inside just a wee bit cramped...
If you're getting water inside, off the slide, then your top slide seal is NOT doing it's job.
We have 2 slides, with toppers, (came that way & wouldn't be without them), have never had water come inside when retacting the slides.

Thanks folks... Great inputs and some interesting stories! Looks like my wife gets here way and we have the installed. Gonna take a closer look at the seals, as it sounds like we may have a need to adjust or replace them...
