The anti-billow devices are adjustable. The idea is if the topper tries to unroll while driving down the road, the 'ear' will hit the bracket on the coach wall and keep the topper furled. When the slide goes out, by the time the 'ear' swings around to the bracket location, it's now too far out to hit the bracket. DON'T leave it off! Our first trip with a new RV, our topper started billowing out due to improper adjustment by the factory. Watch closely from a ladder while someone runs the slide out and watch the clearance of the ear to the bracket. Should be a near-miss if the adjustment is correct. The 'ear' is adjustable on the topper roller but one screw is usually put through a non-slotted hole to permanently locate it once the adjustment is right. Take it off to see if the noise goes away but be sure to put it back.
Carefree uses a plunger assembly as the anti-billow device, Dometic uses a rotating arm, which do you have???
