My poor slide topper on the living room slide has finally succumbed to age, wind and general abuse. The topper is a Carefree of Colorado and was installed ten years ago so I'm quite satisfied with how long it managed to survive.
In researching replacements I've stumbled upon "trim to fit". These replacements are hemmed only on the retaining bead sides and need to be cut down (trim to fit) to the appropriate width which in my case is 149 inches. I can pick up a custom cut and fully hemmed replacement from Tough Tops for $176 or a trim to fit for about $110. My first impression is to run not walk away from a trim to fit unhemmed topper replacement but I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anybody had any real world experience with these. I'd also like to hear from people who have used the Tough Top 15oz replacements.
Any thoughts?
