I am having a similar issue on a 2007 Monaco diplomat 40sft with the full wall slide.
So as I understand the repair correctly.
1. 4" wide, 1/4 inch aluminum sheet ... wrap/bevel the aluminum on the interior side of the slide so as to not allow it to catch when the slide is actuated.
2. Counter sink screws (wood screws?)
3. Use the epoxy as well as the screws or instead of the screws?
Questions:
How did you raise the slide to insert the aluminum? My first inclination is to us a floor jack with 4x4s to raise the slide a couple inches to insert the aluminum?
Did you cut away the tearing slide material or just mount directly on top of the material?
Thanks for your help!
