Since I installed all four of my toppers, I think I can give you the steps you need. If I were to increase the tension on my toppers, this is how I would do it.
1. Extend the slide most of or all the way out.
2. Install cotter pins in each end of the roller assembly (you may need to roll the tube by hand to get the hole to line up. Also, I think if you get 1/8" or 3/32" X 3" cotter pins, that should do it.(Size required may be in literature)
3. Once the pins are in place, there should be no spring tension on the roller. (you can run the slide in a couple inches to prove this)
4. Detach the brackets from the slide.
5. Roll up the fabric on the roller one turn.(two if you feel lucky)
6. Run the slide in to where you need it to re-attach the brackets and re-attach. Grab roller and remove the cotter pins.
7. Try it out. If it still sags enough to get caught in the slide, then you may have a broken or very weak spring. I can not help you on spring replacement.
Good Luck
