[size=14]I have a 14' slide on the 98'Patriot. I've noticed that a get a little water pooling on it when it rains. When I retract it the water comes in with it. I just throw a towel up there to catch it (if I remember to). Would a slide topper remedy this? And if so what brand works best with our rigs? Mine is a 37' in the Warm Springs Blue color.
While I'm talking about slides, is there a way to adjust them? I've noticed that the rear end of the slide sticks out about a 1/2" at the bottom when retracted. No big deal, just cosmetic.
Thanks, Mike[/size]

There are several threads on adjusting slide problems. Problem is there is a small tollerance and I wouldnt want the slide to unlock and come out.
Turns out that there was a recall on the slide in our year and if it isnt done the result is similar to what you describe. Coach Masters in Bend did ours for about $100. and adjusted it at the same time. The deal at Beaver Coach Sales is likely the same and they are sponsors.
The recall involves a small metal reinforcing plate. I doubt it would do much good to adjust until that is done.
Good luck
