Our Sightseer had the "shoes". They were wood 1X4s about two feet long with a beveled edge and were covered with the same material used to line the basement storage compartments.This may be of interest if you also have the shoes.
I installed a laminate flooring - not vinyl like Alure but should pose similar problems with slide usage.
I left the carpet under the slides with just enough sticking out so I could securely staple it to the floor. I attached door sweep strips to the edge of the slides to prevent debris from getting on the carpet as the slide was retracted and then attached baseboard strips to the slide edge. That hid the carpet.
Before we retracted the slides we vacuumed and did a quick wet mop in front of the slides. Worked well for us for 8 full timing years.
