Slide Issue

[Colo_Native]

One of my slides pops when it is about 1 foot from fully open, any ideas? I can't see it hitting anything. I am taking to the dealer next week to fix it again, its warranty work, I don't think they did anything last time, but that's another issue

Dealer said it was the rubber seals, If they would of opened it a couple times they would of heard it, because when I got it back I opened it and it popped. It sounds like it's either the bottom or the rear or both.

It very well could be the rubber seals as they have to flip direction as the slide goes in and out. If you can have somebody operate the slide and have another outside to watch the seals as it moves will help to determine if that is the problem. If you determine it is not the slides watch underneath the slide as it is moved in and out . There are a lot of things that could cause this to happen some of the noises may be normal. When you take it to your dealer have them open and close the slide while you are there so you can point the problem out to them what you are thinking is a problem may not be. Work with your Tech so they understand what you are hearing.

Mine pops and creaks every time I open or close them. Has done this for 5 years. Hydraulic slides. I've lubed the rack underneath and the gears. Still makes noise but they always have worked...What me worry?

Might be the plastic hinged panel that supports the power cord for the slide out. It can get in a bind and then pop and rattle the bottom skirt of the slide out. Makes a terrible racket some times. If the slide out has plumbing and/or propane lines, then they are also very suspect for this issue.

No plumbing or anything in that slide
