Thanks for checking on yours, Jack.
It appears somewhere between my coach, #485 and Jack's coach, #504, the mechanisms changed. I believe mine is an HWH SpaceMaker Single Cylinder mechanism. (Although knowing this doesn't seem to tell me anything relative to the current problem of not being to over-retract my slide).
An easy way to tell appears which one you have is that, unlike others on this thread, the under side of my slide when extended has no visible part of the mechanism. It is all skin.
DOES ANYONE KNOW SOMEONE with coach #503 or OLDER? (I have reached out to "pairodice" to see if he has any knowledge about this). There must be a few '98 or older coaches that have had this rear slide seal changed. I'm hoping someone has knowledge about over-retracting the slide with this mechanism.... and hopefully the answer is not removing the slide.
Thanks to ALL!
Alan
