Slide out locking mechanism

(1/2) > >>

Jim Bentley:
I have a 2003 Marquis , that I need to repair the locking mechanism on the slide.  Went out today to remove it and cannot find any fasteners.  Does anyone have any ideas how to remove it ?  This locking mechanism is located on the outside and is activated when the slide comes in.

Roy Mueller:
It is held in with black plastic plugs or rivets.Call Willis Lotts He replaced his, knows where to get parts

Jim Bentley:
Update: My slide out must be different than some ( Power Gear ).  On mine I removed one screw at the top then tap the bottom with a hammer to raise it about 3/8 of an inch to remove.  I had three springs that were broken.  I replaced them with springs from Ace Hardware ( $ 20.00 ).  Beaver coach sales would only sell the slide out lock as a pair, for $1000 +.  Hope this might help someone else who might have a similar problem. Jim

Jim Shaw:
I have the same locks as Jim. I also replaced the springs that I was able to buy from Power Gear at that time. They no longer sell to owners. Jim I'm glad to know ,about Ace Hardware
