bedroom slide keeps coming out

While sitting in storage my bedroom slide seems to keep working its way out. It happened one over last winter it came out about a foot and then got snowed on and froze so I had to leave it till it melted off and dries. Now thisd winter i have noticed 3 times now that it is out a few inches. This morning I was walking the dog and looked over and there it was out again. I went and grabbed the keys and opened it up and went in and turned on the system and ran it in again. This is a hydraulic system where 1 switch runs all three slides out one at a time. Any ideas what might be going on here? This is getting to be quite an irritation.

    Cut 2-2X4's long enough to put from the interior wall to the backside of the slide (when retracted). They usually come with aluminum bars (like a shower rod) with rubber on each end.
