Water on slide awning

[MTPockets]

Who has the best soluton to keeping rainwater from staying on slide awning? I've tied a line to a couple boat fenders, then push them between the awning and slide top - they work by holding up the center of the awning. I can remove the boat fenders pulling on the rope when ready to retract slides, but I have to get out the ladder to install them up there on the slide... When there is a bunch of water sagging the awning without the support, I have lowered the front and the water runs off (I have hydraulic front landing legs), and I have to reset my stabilizers every time when I do this.

Seems like the builders could put these on with a greater angle so the water runs off......

I'm looking for a solution to keep from having to get up there every time it looks like rain. Anybody found one?

I have purchased one of these, Dometic Slide Topper Cradle/Tensioner. Works very well and easy to install. http://www.rveparts.com/dometic-slide-topper-cradle-support-3309526-006/. Call company for color options. I will be ordering another one for my other long slide topper.
