Has any one adjusted drivers side slide out? My slide has a gap of about 1/2 inch at the top and is tight at the bottom. 2005 Dutch Star 40'. Just had a bad wind storm and noticed the wind coming in the top. I think this has been this way since new and I have just now noticed it.

Welcome lojo to the Newmar forum and irv2.
First picture is the slot where rods both ends of slide stops against the metal bracket looking head on under your slide.
Second picture is a side shot of same bracket with nut on backside tight to bracket.
The 3d & 4th pics are top of slide which you should check out and make sure the seals are laying correctly at top of slide and not stopping top from meeting the wall at top.
You may also have a locking bar that should drop in slot next to slide and not bind in slot stopping the slide from meeting wall at that location.
Your facia frame around face of slide in living area should not be bent anywere should be a flat 90* off slide box.
Your rollers should be ok because they drop on floor incline in wall area.
If you do adjust the stop nut only turn 1/2 turns after running slide in and out.

Cool Slide out adjustment

I probably wasn't clear as to my problem, so I will try again. When the slide out is extended I have a gap at the top of the slideout of about 1/2 inch from the gasket to the sidewall of the MH, the slide is good and tight at the bottom. It looks to me as if the slideout needs to tilt back more when extended. Any ideas on how to adjust this condition.

If you turn the stop nuts slide should adjust at top of slide just do not over turn.
Check and see if your slide floor is flat and not bowed where your four rollers are mounted.
