#1 Slide Stops 4" short of closing
#19

Update on my slide issue....long story short, the slide has to come out.  Called Kris Jones @ Premium Coach in Zeperhills, FL....they have a slide table and are close. 

Received my order of aircraft rivets to reattach the slide plate to the bottom of the slide in order to pick up some strength in that area. The slide plate is bent at the point where it becomes cantilevered from the inboard edge of the slide.  Tried jacking up the slide to pull the slide plate out to straighten it....there is at least one rivet at the area where the seal is located.....the slide would not budge upward off of the HDW white plastic slide bearing material.

Gaining access through the driver side wheel well with a small hole trying to pry the slide plate back into the correct alignment. The slide support tubes are like a 2x3 steel tubes which prevents the over-bending upward of the slide runner. so no joy there. 

Going topside, the cantilevered part of the slide runner is actually under the drop down floor...so the couch access idea won't get us inboard far enough to bend it upward.  

Early in the search there was a small piece of broken HDW slide bearing found in the over-head of the L1 bay.  There may be a missing bearing that needs replacing anyway which may be the failure that caused the problem to begin with. 

Scheduled to go in on the 1st and will update the findings then.
