System and Safety Information
System Information
Solera Sliders are a high-quality, cost-effective way to help keep slide-outs free of dirt, leaves and debris. Solera
Sliders permanently attach to the slide-out and retract/extend with the room. The easy-to-install kits are designed
to fit rooms from 56" to 188" in length and extend up to 58”. The hardware hole pattern is universal and will match
most competitive brands, which alleviates the need to patch holes.
NOTE:
• The Solera Slider® kit comes complete with mounting hardware.
• Awning cord rail not included.
• All fabric is 5” shorter than the overall slider length.
• Box width is measured on the outside front of the box, including the flange.
Safety Information
The “WARNING” symbol above is a sign that a service or maintenance procedure has a safety risk involved and may
cause serious injury or death if not performed safely and within the parameters set forth in this manual.
Always wear eye protection when performing service or maintenance to the vehicle. Other safety equipment to
consider would be hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face shield, depending on the nature of the service.
This manual provides general installation procedures. Many variables can change the circumstances of the
procedure, i.e., the degree of difficulty involved in the service operation and the ability level of the individual
performing the operation. This manual cannot begin to plot out procedures for every possibility, but will provide
the general instructions for effectively installing the system. In the event the skill level required is too advanced
or the procedure too difficult, a certified technician should be consulted before performing the necessary service.
Failure to correctly install the system may result in voiding the warranty, inflicting injury or even death.

Installation
1. Apply butyl tape to the flat side of the cord rail (Fig. 1A).
2. Place the cord rail parallel to, and centered above, the slide-out (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Cord rail should be a few inches higher than the fascia so that it creates a pitch for water and debris
to run off.
3. Fasten the cord rail to the coach with self-tapping screws every 8-10" (Fig. 2A).

10. Remove paper wrap from roll bar and bring fabric out one roll.
Unrolling fabric more than one roll will make the slider lose tension and create slack when closing slide.
11. Using at least two people, feed the fabric through the cord rail (Fig. 6).

screw (Fig. 3B).

bracket (Fig. 5A).
8. Place bracket against the bottom of the fascia at the top corner of the slide-out. Make sure to keep the
bracket parallel with the cord rail/fascia. Fasten using self-tapping screws (Fig. 4).

12. Feed one of the hex rods into a bracket. By pulling a hex rod all the way into the bracket, the other hex
rod will fit into the other bracket (Fig. 6A).
13. Center the Solera® Slider using a tape measure.
14. Fasten the hex rods to the brackets using two self-tapping square head screws in each bracket (Fig. 7).
15. Straighten out the back of the cotter pin, grasp the roll bar to relieve tension and remove the cotter pin
(Fig. 8).
Release the roll bar slowly to avoid damage to the assembly and serious injury.
16. Test slider by operating the slide-out, being sure to watch the fabric.
17. Once the slide-out is retracted all the way, fasten fabric into the cord rail with self-tapping screws.
