Did Camplite ever have an aluminum slide out roof?

Dealing with a rubber roof issue on my 2018 CL16TBS and was wondering if Camplite ever used an aluminum roof on their slideouts?
I know they did on the main roof.

Yup, I have a 2014 21RBS with the aluminum roof, and aluminum on the slide too. Mind you there is also a awning over the slide too.

Thanks, LivinLite is being a little difficult with the repair shop on the issue I detailed in another thread >

I'm wondering if replacing the rubber roof with aluminum would be a better long term solution....

Yes! If you have the choice then swap it out. That particular roof is completely flat (one of LL's original justifications for the rubber was that it could transition better). I wonder if doing so could save you some thickness and possibly allow your slide to close without dragging...

^^^ This, especially given the more "dynamic" nature of the slide, it is more prone to damage.
