A couple of thoughts:
* be sure to level your TT front to back before extending or retracting the slide. Otherwise the slide will drift and the cables will rub on the aluminum frame mounted to the TT.
* the clearance hole in the aluminum frame mounted to the TT may need to be enlarged to center the cable and burrs removed. My cables were wearing a groove in the aluminum frame because the pulleys are not centered on the cable hole and the cable ends would sometimes catch the edge just before fully retracted.
Here is how I "opened up" my clearance holes for the cable to prevent cable catching and wear:
