Adding a slide topper much longer than slide?

It looks like I need a 96" Solara for my 90.5" slide. Can I get a 10' topper so it also shades the side windows and keeps even more rain and debris from the slide?
It seems the limiting factor is the hex bar mounts for the roller. Can these hex bars be replaced with longer ones? Or would I need to add a channel all the way across the slide and extending past the ends for the mounting brackets to attach to? It seems some aluminum rectangle tubing would fit the bill.
I cant be the only one who wants an extra large awning over my slide.
Thanks for any info,
Chris
  • Thanks all for your input. I'm always questioning why things are the way they are and always learning in the process. I'll stick to the recommended topper and call it good.

    If it's loose & flapping, or water ponding, just have it adjusted.
