Duck tape slide?

Personally, I would go to a home improvement store and have them cut me a couple of lengths of 2x4 and block it to be positive it stayed in. Home depot will cut to length.

Been there, done that worked fine all the way home

I'm thinking a "broken" motor is a brake in itself. Have you tried to push the slide out?
Or if you can you get to the bottom where the drive assy is,maybe you could clamp onto the actuating rod with a vice grip.

My rig came with braces that go between the inside wall and the lip around the inside of the slide - up at the top of the slide. Designed to keep the slide from sliding out if something goes wrong. Doing something similar with 2x4s as mentioned makes sense.

Duck Tape brand duct tape should be fine.

Duct tape may leave a residue on the siding. It will take elbow grease or adhesive remover solvent to get rid of it.

Avoid the duck tape, it could rip the graphics off when you remove tape.

A local dealer should have a slide lock, or as others have mentioned grab and cut a pair of 2x4's.

use a store bought slide lock

or make one

i wouldn't trust any tape to hold the that weight in place in summer heat for 1000 miles
