There is an anti billowing device that is installed with the topper. I simple terms it's an "arm" that is attached to the roller, and if the topper is fully retracted it will hit the side of the trailer stopping it from opening up. As you extend the slide the roller turns and there is enough clearance for the arm to rotate. .
