Slide Topper Brace

On my 2016 Bounder 35K, the 'living room' slide topper holds an enormous amount of water, due (in my thinking) the bowing of the tube toward the slide-causing a pooling situation. The awning is a Carefree, and they do not make a mid awning brace, to keep topper taught w/o bowing in. Dometic does make one for their awning. I am wondering if anyone has knowledge of this brace working with Carefree. Both companies say cannot use interchangeable with other's brand. Before investing 100+ to give a try, thought I'd ask the forum.......
I lost a topper within 2 months of buying the rig, after all said just pull slide in and water will roll off...well, I did and it got SUCKED inside the MH, had to cut it off and pry it out and of course buy a new one. Just trying to keep things simple...

I have NEVER seen a Slide topper center brace for keeping water from pooling on both Dometic and Carefree. Where did you see this brace? Dometic does make a support brace for when the Patio awning is retracted, but not a slide topper. Doug

If this is the "brace". Sorry, that is not a tension brace.
