The large HWH room slide mechanism on our Alpines have two adjustments: 1--you can raise or lower the mounting brackets on the end of either slide ram by turning the large set/allen screw on the end of the ram, after loosening the lock nut; and 2--you can shift the slide forward or aft within the slide opening by loosening the bracket bolts on the stretcher bar that goes between the ends of the ram [I used a cargo strap and ratchet].
Easiest way to assess the alignment of the slide is to look at the paint strip alignment on the side of the coach with the slide fully closed. Be advised, I eventually had to remove and cut/re-weld the mounting bracket on the end of the ram to gain more upward adjustment--not a job for the faint of heart [smile].......
PS--I also glued a short strip of hard rubber material [1/4 inch thick] in the top, outside corner of the slide opening, to keep the edge of the slide from rubbing against the paint on the adjacent side wall of the coach.....
