Water Damage to Slide

[mcomeaux]

Have a 2019 Keystone Alpine 3800 FK
The slide that has the microwave and gas range mounted in it has water damage to the underneath rain from a storm we had found its way into lower schwintec slide that factory omitted silicone. Appears the facia can be removed and possibly the black covered particle board may possibly pulled out for replacement? it actually rides on top of the rollers...Any suggestions? It appears if I remove front lower facia the lower part that rolls on top of rollers might possibly be pulled straight out if I can suspend the slide on something.

I am just finishing up on rebuilding my slide. In my case the eternabond on the roof failed where the metal extrusion is screwed in on the roof. Water runs downhill so I woulkd suggest starting your inspection at the top. Initially water ran inside the wall and was only evidenced at the floor. The PO pulled a side window and used putty to try to seal the window and all evidence on the mdf indicates the water came from above. My slideout was put together from the outside evidenced by all the screws came from that angle. I would suggest doing it earlier than later since by the time I got into mine it was a total rebuild.
