Top of slide not sealing

We have a 2004 Monaco Diplomat with 4 slides.On the b/r slide curb side the top is still out from coach by 1/2 in.The po did bend the bottom of slide a little when he left his bike under the slide and put a small bend in the middle.Is there a way to adjust this so top and bottom match up?
Thanks for any advice. tagcat

I have the same problem with my bedroom slide. The only way I have been able to get the top to seal up tight is to close the slide, and then hit the button to open it again for just a split second and it drops down a touch which actually seals the top before it actually slides back out. Like you said, I can't get both the top and bottom to seal evenly so when I use this procedure, the bottom is open a half inch but I would rather that as water doesn't drain uphill so no problems leaking. ;-)

I have a 2000 Windsor and my main Livingroom slide seals great in and runs out level except the last 2 inches. The top stops and bottom goes out tilting one side a bit.
Afraid to adjust it because it seals good closed but I can tell the rear part of the slide out is not plumb by an inch or two.
I thought maybe something was on top if the slide keeping the top from extending out that last little bit but its clear. So far just living with it.

slide up date

The problem is still there.When i put the slide out it makes a clicking sound from motor when it gets full out,this is the only slide that does that?
The other day i had to move the coach forward 200' so i could work on the pad site,hit the button nothing,no sound would not go in.I had a tractor driver waiting so i did not have time to do it manually,so i just pulled forward very slowly with rear bedroom slide out.When i parked tried it again and it worked.It is out of square top to bottom.I also noticed some scraping at the top of slide pulled tape off.Something is out of square?I was reading on this forum,someone was talking about a bay door switch,or a fuse that maybe loose? I will look at this today. I do not want to work on it to much not knowing what the true problem is.May have to call Monaco see if service can help any.
We are leaving July 1st for a 9 month trip hoping to get this solved as i do not want to get stuck some were with slide out. Was hoping someone has had this same issue and was able to solve it.


Thank You
