Large slide out needs adjustment

I have a 2013 palazzo 33.3 and noticed water coming through the slide out in the front of the large slide whirl driving in the rain, only when driving. Looked into the mater and noticed the slide out needs to come in more to seal to the coach, there is about a 1" gap. The rear of the slide seals like it is suppose to. Is there a way to fix this issue without tearing the whole slide apart?

make sure to keep holding the 'extract' button several seconds after the slide comes in. ours many times will come in another inch or so after it looks like the slide is already finished - it is 'resyncing' with the rear motor.
if this does not work, you can unplug the rear motor lead at the controller in the main bay and try to run the front slide the rest of the way in by itself.(it should be 'motor 1', but try it and see, you can hear which motor is getting power before it moves the slide anyway)

Have you noticed the molding has been pulled away a bit on the outside?

My molding on the out side was like the one in the previous post, molding not broken/ bent. I Re-timed the motors by following the procedure I found online and it fixed the issue, thanks to everyone on here you guys are a big help when others need it.

Not working:-(
It seems as though he 2 bottom rivots came out.
Has anybody seen this, doesn't look as though anything is broken, just the rivot got pulled out which is allowing the plate to also move away from the side of the coach.

not sure what you mean by 'plate'... send pics

I have issues with mine as the rear bottom is out 1" when all the others are flush, Thor is providing repair/replacement of bottom track/gears/column in mid Feb(if weather allows!)

that's your Schwintek 'column' rail that houses the rod and gears within the wall - not good to have a loose rivet

I have tried the in out adjust but it doesn't seem to be helping ,Maybe I didn't do it enough?
