I just finished 2 slide toppers and my roll out awning. Did one each evening after work with the help of my son. Took about an hour to hour and a half each. Lots of good videos available on You Tube. Please pay attention to the warnings on spring pressure. They are serious and should not be taken lightly.
We have replaced several slide toppers for ourselves and friends. We have not had to replace our awning as yet. As mentioned, do take the warnings about the main awning very seriously. We had a friend try to work on his and he ended up in the hospital for 2 days and nearly lost his thumb. He thought he could lock a pair of vise grips on the end and hold it that way - didn't work out for him. Not saying you can't do it but please be careful.
