Slide not closing tightly on one corner

We had repairs made to the TT after a tire blow out which damaged the underbelly and fender over the tire. The slide is located near the tire that blew out but there didn't appear to be any damage to it. I suspected the slide wasn't closing all the way at that time so had it checked and serviced and we were told it was OK; but the front top edge is still not closing as tightly as the other 3 corners. I noticed while following the TT which was being towed by DH that it appeared to wiggle on that corner when he hit a bump. I'm worried the frame may be bent. Have any of you had a similar issue and if so, do we need to worry or is it safe to travel?

Your RV Dealer should be able to adjust the slide or at least see what the problem is. Most slides can be adjusted unless something is bent.

I accidentally posted in Class A and tried to delete it but wasn't successful so I added the second note. We have a 24 ft Kodiak Travel Trailer. Sorry for any confusion.
