Slide Adjustment, 2000 Holiday Rambler 38WDS

I have a 2000 Holiday Rambler 38WDS single slide. I have a water leak around the slide when the slide is retracted. With the slide fully in, the gap at the bottom of the slide (on the side) is much smaller at the bottom than at the top. To correct the leak problem, I need to reduce the gap at the top (thereby increasing the pressure in the weatherstrip seal at the top).

I'm fairly sure it's a Power Gear Slide system, and it is not the "flat floor" version. It runs on 2 rails, has one electric motor, and really works well except for the needed adjustment.

The slide has adjustments for "out stop adjustment", "in stop adjustment", and "vertical height adjustment". I have reduced the extension of the "in stop adjustment" and still have the "too large" gap at the top.

I'm reluctant to play with the "vertical height adjustment" as the slide is really well centered in the opening as it is.

Can anyone tell me how to reduce the gap at the top of the slide to increase the pressure on the slide seal at the top?

Thanks
