We were going to winterize our Outback Sydney and were putting out the slides when we noticed an issue. The last time we used the camper we put a folding table in the back corner and that was in the way when we now were trying to put the slide out.
We stopped before any real damage but the front facing of the slide began to pull out starting at the bottom and about half way up. The bottom screw is completely out and the middle screw appears to have come out and then got pushed back in to a new location.
We are wondering how the front facing boards are attached? The top corner rosette has the light brown square piece attached to the larger dark brown square. The light brown piece I can see has four small nails/staples attaching it and I am assuming glue as well? But we cant tell how the larger dark brown square is attached. If we can get the rosette off do you know if we can then get the facing off as we are assuming that is covering the screws we need to get attached back to the slide?
Here are some pics I hope you can see what I am talking about. Any advice would be appreciated.
This is the rosette I am talking about along with the facing that needs to be removed:

This is the middle screw that pulled out and appears to have repositioned incorrectly:

The slide itself does not appear to be damaged as once removed the table it was able to fully extend and fully close up with no issue. We just need to get that facing properly secured to the slide again and need advice as to how that facing can be safely removed and re-applied.
