Thanks. If I decide to replace them, I'll have them check the tension.
ya I personally just think there are to many benefits to having them. keeps debris off the top of the slide, so you don't have to get up there with a broom before you close them if you camp in forested area. Keeps the rain off minimizing the potential for water leaking in around the seals. Keeps the sun off the slide top reducing some heat inside. Keeps pine cones from landing on the fiberglass roof of your slide and making a horrible noise 😆 And, if you are like me and camp when it could snow, it makes for easy snow removal also 😀
