We actually had luck with putting the intake roller on the bottom (with the polycarb sheet above) rather than on top or outwards. Just make sure the tread or whatever you line your roller with is extra grippy and the roller doesnt have a massive diameter(ours were about 1"). Although, as far as tread is concerned, I think wedgetop worked fine for us....
