Out of wack, or out of lube ?

[Desdinova]

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this as I'm not sure it's a model problem, a slide problem a maintenance problem or...

I have a 2020 Vibe. We've used it a few times and I noticed the slideout is getting a little stuck/rubbing when pulling it on the rear-facing window of the slide. Other than that, the motion and alignment seems perfect.

On this last trip, I decided to put some of that spray slide seal lube on, and the slide came in and went out flawlessly. However, when we got home, I noticed it hanging a little again.

Is this normal? Is it just that it hasn't been lubed for a while sitting at the dealership?

What happens when it rubs is that the bottom (inside the rig) starts to kick up. If I stop, move it out, just a bit, and start bringing it in again, that's usually all it takes, but it has been enough to pull part of the molding on that window off.

Tonight I lubed the window molding as well, and it slid in an out just fine (no wize cracks).

I guess my question is... Did I just need to lube it properly, or is there some sort of fore-aft alignment issue? Based on the slide seals, the slide is not perfectly centered in the side of the rig, but it's only about 1/8" to the rear. It would seem in tolerance based on how much things flex and move, but here I am asking if I have a bigger issue.

Thanks in advance.

newer slides are self-aligning. They need to be run completely out until you hear the end-of-run clunking about 3 or 4 times. Same with running it in, all the way until you hear it clunk a few times.
Keep the runners clean with a damp cloth then apply your slide lube. Clean the seals with a damp rag then apply the seal conditioner or slicone spray.
The slide will also tip a little bit when you slide it in or out, part of their leveling process.
If this doesn't work, someone else here has the answer.
