I can’t see how this could happen. We have had slide toppers for over 25 years and have never had any water or debris come in when retracting the slide. It all just waterfalls over the edge or the roller as the slide comes in. Some also pours out of the side if we are not exactly level but it has never come inside the rig. If we have been in one place for a long time I will usually stand in front of the slide with a broom and brush the roller as it rolls up the topper material. This gets any stuck debris off so it doesn’t get rolled up.
I have never had to get on the roof to clean it. I have had to use a broom and awning rod to remove a birds nest a couple of times. :). It is very rare that anything gets on top of the slide roof though and have only had to run a extendable wash brush under the topper and over it a couple of times to help clean it.
