So it doesn't support the slide very well anymore and does as you describe.
So I have a choice; I can either try to replace this plastic part or I can make it better by installing some rollers for it to move on. I've found that short conveyor rollers would do the job nicely and I'm going to try and fit some in next spring.
FWIW, with the slide all the way out I can lift the edge of the carpet and see the plastic part but it looks fine from that perspective. Frm the outside I can look underneath and see the plastic part and the area in the middle thats broken down.
Maybe yours is similar.
