We have had them on our trailers for the past 20 years and would not be without them. They keep debris off the slide and help keep it cooler.
Also can help keep water out of the RV on some rigs.
Our has not been a problem in heavy winds. On a few occasions, when the wind was strong and coming in just the right direction, it would flap a bit but never enough to bother us or keep us awake at night. If it ever would have become a problem we would just retract the slide.
Any debris that falls on it comes right off as the slide is retracted and it keeps the slide top clean and free of debris. It does make washing the top a bit harder but not much.
The "Pros" far outweigh the "cons", in my opinion when it comes to slide toppers.
