Mills, at least, has these short black webbing straps permanently attaced to both the front and back of the slide, each with a female snap cap. This snaps on to the snap/screw that holds the track end cap in place to keep the slide from sliding.

Whether or not a Sun Top needs a slide depends mostly on the length of the boat. The longer the boat in relationship to the height of the top, the longer the slide needs to be to stow the top formard. Many boats, including Whaler's earlier 1970's vintage Outrages, did not use a slide at all, as the boats had front decks eliminating the need for a slide.

None of the Forward Shelters are on slides.
