slide won't go over laminate

This is in regards to my new laminate floor. The slide that goes over it scratches. But now there is another issue.

My husband and another guy decided to just take that strip of Teflon? resin-like material, off the front of the slide where it touches the floor. Obviously it's a very tough material, so they proceeded to bang on it, thinking if they got it out the slide would be lifted enough to not scrape (their other idea was to torch it out, smart)

Well, to make matters worse,It now won't even slide because it is too tight to the floor in one corner where they did all the banging. I've been reading the comments about what to do to help the slide go over the laminate, but I was too late, the banging went on first. And late.

Then, to make matters worse, my husband decided to try to push the plastic strip back inside the area where it slides, so now all the plastic in the one corner is jammed into the area where it comes in and out. Needless to say, it won't slide out anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas besides calling an RV repair?

Good morning. Slides, depending on the manufacturer will have some adjustment. There are obviously limits on how far up it will go because of the top cross member but a quarter inch maybe possible. Without knowing the manufacturer it's hard to give you directions but the answer is probably down below assuming it is a rail type system). That Teflon piece will have to be reattached once the height has been reset. Consider contacting a competent shop as they may need to help you out. In many cases it's not that hard if you know what to look for.
