The service manager promised to write on the repair bill that the warped roof will be repaired if the slide topper doesn't work. I have a 2 year warrantee to evaluate this and this way I get a free topper. If I sent it back now, I get no topper and we lose at least a month on the camping season. Plus we would have to postpone our 3 week west coast trip in May.
This is really a band aid. If the slide out isn't properly constructed then a topper won't fix it. If water finds it way under the topper, lets say from a sideways rain or accumulation of condensation then you'll have the same problem. Then there's other potential issues that could pop up from having a warped slide like alignment. I would send it back to the factory to have it fixed properly. A little bit of hurt now can save you a lot of hurt later.
