The front of the living room slide is not closing by 0.25 of an inch. The back fits snugly. What adjustment should I make, if any, to cause the front of the slide to close completely? As it stands now, we are not experiencing any problems, but there could be a problem if we were to drive in a rain storm. Any and all help is appreciated.

You need to tell us what kind of slide it is....cable driven? Hydaulic? Rack and gear?

What coach? If it has a HWH hydraulic slide the adjusters are on the driver side, just loosen the jam nut about 1/4 inch and tighten up the out side nut, keep working a little at a time until the gap is closed.

I don't know what size he is talking about but I have a full wall slide that I have adjusted almost monthly, closes good on one end but the front is never right, it either fits on the inside better and worse on the outside or just he opposite. I am sure to install the slide locks but every time a truck passes I can feel the wind on my feet. No water only wind. The top also never fits right on the front, the back again is fine
