Hello and

If you have awnings over the top of the slide out these can sometimes keep the top pulled inward; if they have been tightened too much. Another thing could be if there is not any (or enough) weight on the slideout; slideout topper (awning) adjusted to be taught when the room was more heavily loaded and could drop it down and outward.
Do not make any adjustments to the cable; it is used only to keep the slideout in-time (frount and read ends even). I might suggest adding some weight to the room, if empty or lets talk about, safely loosening the tension on the topper awning springs.
