Slide problem

well dealer may have fixed it. They rolled over the metal lip on the top of the slide so it doesn't hit the seals as hard. moved them in and out a few times so far ok

Unfortunately I have no pictures and once the fascia was back on the metal plate I put in is no longer visible.

All I used was a door threshold plate which I stood on edge and screwed to the lip on the slide. When the slide extends it limits on the outside wall and keeps the upper portion of the slide from over extending under the cutout in the side wall.

I seen it. How long of slide is yours this is 16' that's a lot of metal. I am taking it back to the shop tomorrow for the last time(warranty)

Slide is 16 feet and has the frig in it. I purchased a metal floor door transition which if I remember is about 36 inches long and about four inches wide. I removed the wood fascia from the upper slide face and attached the metal plate to the backside edge of the upper side of the slide lip roughly in the middle of the slide. Metal is probably no more than 1/8 inch thick/ All you are trying to do is stop the slide from extending/dropping past the outside wall edge. I invested roughly $10 and a couple of hours labor.

Listening to your video that is a sound I will never forget! Good luck with your dealer. Mine was no help at all.

Do you have photos of that, you can share.

If that does not work out. Seek out a product called chassis ears.

Even if you buy it. Figure it out yourself and then command the repair instead of chasing your tail. Chassis Ears

Sorry I don't get it I can hear the noise

Doug, Listen for the snap/grind sound just before you hear the clutch ratcheting.

I cannot hear that on the video. Besides, he does not state what type slide system. This is the equivalent of NAME THAT TUNE. Sorry, the video is useless as a guide to what is wrong. Doug

Listen just before the end the cracking noise. It's a Lippert through the frame slide
