Ditto on fcooper's instructions! My slide was out of vertical alignment. We first noticed it because the wiper seal wasn't making contact with the side of the slide and in a rain storm, we found the floor around the slide to be wet. After looking closer, I found that the front seal wasn't making contact at the top and the rear seal was excessively crushed at the top and normal looking at the bottom. I followed Power Gear's instructions for vertical adjustment and wasn't able to make much difference. They only reference the adjustment bolts on the rails that drive the mechanism. After reading fcooper's instructions on adjusting the rollers, I found that the rear rollers (inside the bins as well as inside the coach) were not even making contact with the floor of the slide for most of the deployment. After several adjustments, the slide now runs much smoother that it ever has and the seals are engaging properly again. Power Gear doesn't tell you to adjust the rollers, but I now know that it's essential to getting the proper height and plumb adjustments on the slide.
