We never had any problems with the slide toppers on our two Montanas we owned. And yes, on a windyday they can be noisy. We did have a problem on our SOB motorhome last year in Florida. Traveling down the road, our main slide topper unravelled in 60 mph 90 degree wind going down the road. It continued to flap on the roof until I lowered the speed down to 40 mph. What a noise that makes. When we got to Orlando, I checked it and found out one of the topper stoppers had broken off and allowed the topper to unravel. This little devise is on one end of your toppers and has a arm sticking up. It is pot metal and attached with two screws. Ours only had one screw and it broke in half. We straighten out the topper (wasn't torn) and replaced the stopper and everything was good again. The repairman said that with only one screw holding it, it was too much pressure. We had to add screws to the other three slide topper stops as the factory only put in one screw in each topper. You might want to check yours to see if there attached with two screws.
