Slideout Problem - Teflon Glider
Yahoo Message Number: 110349
We had one of our big slides kind of dragging on extension / retraction and took the slide in to HWH (because it is located about an hour from where we live) and they found that the nylon block that the slideout rests and glides on during extension and retraction is coming loose and one of the screws or bolts that hold the block to the coach frame has come loose and is riding up into the channel on the top of the nylon block that the slideout rides through. HWH ONLY performs service on the actual HWH systems and not on the slides (unless they manufactured them) which they didn't for CC. They recommended that we have someone REMOVE the slideout, fix the front nylon block that has come loose (and probably do the rear one as well as any other maintenance that could be conceived of while the slide is out) (and probably replace the seals, because... why not!)
What we are looking for is someone who has DIRECT, ACTUAL, DEMONSTRATED, WITH REFERENCES experience in removing and reinstalling slides and working with HWH systems. We will go anywhere in the CONUS to get this done, but we don't want to be a part of someone's learning curve.
Any thoughts, advice or recommendations, or a way to fix this without completely removing the slide?
