Was the roof like that from day one, or did water get in and cause it? No signs of that on our Glacier Peak. Ours did have a recall on the pin box back in 2015.
The roof on yours must not have been done correctly at the factory.
Please let us know what they do to solve it. Re-roof or ??

The roof was shoddy from day one. Had I seen it and the misaligned slide I would've passed on the trailer. I was under no obligation to purchase if not satisfied when doing the PDI.
This is our 4th trailer and the roof has never been an issue nor has the slide alignment so we didn't think of looking at those areas. Who looks for slide alignment?
I did climb up on the roof and walk around to check the caulking and anything that might stick out. Guessed I missed it. You have to sight down the gutter line while standing on the ladder.
Then if you get an 8' step ladder and climb up at the end of the awning you can see it up close and personal. My dealer just has no idea and ORV has no idea whats causing it based on the pics that the dealer sent them.
My dealer says it's a 4 hour job and ORV is only giving them 2 hours. They'll do it but lose money. They won't know whats causing the bump up/out until they peel back the roof membrane.
As for the slide out. It's a mess inside and out. The gap between the outside trims and the slide are off 1/2" side to side. It's plumb in the opening.
Both the left and right side fascias and the top fascias all measure differently by as much as 1/2 "
Both sides of the slide are the same height. It's also the same width inside dimension wise.
It's also square diagonal as best as I can measure.
I agree it should be easy to adjust the slide using the adjustment bolts on the slide mechanism. However that doesn't fix the whole issue concerning the fascias.
Too me it needs to be centered in the opening, then the fascias need to be rebuilt so they're the same width top to bottom.
Shoddy is when the bottom width of the fascia is 5-5/8" and the top is 5-1/8".
I spent 30 years as a union carpenter working on high rises and and other commercial buildings doing metal stud framing and other work. I know outta square when I see it.
Sorry for taking this post off track.
