Full Wall Slide

I need some more help with my full wall slide on my 2013 Ventana LE 3434, My slide is even top to bottom but the end gaps are off. on the driver's side full wall slide. The front top corner is very close to if not tight against the side of the coach, the bottom front corner has about a 1/2 inch or less gap. The back end has a very large gap top to bottom that increases in size as you move from bottom to top. Is there a way to adjust how the slide sits in the opening on the couch, and if so can anyone help me with instructions to make the adjustment?
Thanks
Chris

First, with the slide in, look at the paint work at the front and the back of the FWS. Does it line up horizontally?

It sounds like your slide is a little "cocked" in the opening. With the slide out, if you look underneath near the outer edge, you'll see some vertical 1/2" diameter threaded rods. They have 3/4" nuts that lock against each other. Those vertical rods adjust the height of the slide up or down. If you find the paint lines up at one end of the slide and not the other, you may need to make some adjustments to correct the slide and realigning the paint. This may help your issue.

Thanks Don I will check that tonight. It appears the top to bottom alignment is good, its the side to side that needs help. It is as you said cocked in there as the top front corner is to close to the edge of the opening and the back top of the slide is to far away.
