    Slide gap

    I'm wondering if this looks normal. The top of the slide is flush, but the bottom sticks out about an inch and 1/2. Click image for larger version.

    Sorry - not sure how to rotate the photo. I think you can still see it, though.

    Looks normal from what I can see.

    It appears that the gap you are talking about is below the floor line where it really doesn't matter.

    It looks as though it is a pretty consistent seal along the actual wall.

    Looks normal to me. My Reflection was like that the day I bought it, and the service techs told me as long as the bulb seals were touching above the floor line I was good. Kept that Reflection 4 years and had no issues with the slides.

    Normal.

    All 5 of my slides (3-electric and 2-hydraulic) fit tight at the top and remain at least an inch out at the bottom.

    Jim,

    Did you ever have this looked at by a service department. Mine looks exactly like your does.

    Looks like our slide. I asked about mine when I was in getting the sliding windows replaced.

    Is it the same on both ends of the slide? Is the seal, sealed all the way up and down? If so it is probably ok.
