Ron and Linda, we had them on our 2001 Montana, our 2003 Montana, and this 2007 Montana. We've been in very high winds and they've held up well to the wind. They seem to last maybe four years and then tend to deterioriate from weather. Probably UV damage. That deterioration is more of a problem than the wind, for us.

The only times we've retracted slides is in storms with winds so bad we could see the slides being lifted. We could actually see the top of the slide moving from inside the rig. The toppers survived with no problem other than normal deterioration.
