All three of these slides are different but the bedroom and the main act the same. When they start you hear the motor going and when you hear the ratcheting you stop. Both those are touching rubber all the way around and look right to me. The kitchen one is strange. First the motor does not make a sound immediately then makes a weird noise and no ratcheting at the end. That slide does not touch rubber and I can see about 3/4" of white outside wall. It does not look right to me. I went back and looked at another one on the lot and it was about the same distance from the wall but that one had black where mine was white. I was wondering how yours sounds and looks fully extended.
