Cable Slide Mount pulled from Slide Structure
I was extending the kitchen slide and I hear a "CRACK". Where the lower cable mounts to the slide, it has broken the wood in the slide it is attacked to. I stopped immediately, the bracket is now at about a 45 degree angle just hanging on to some wood. I'm sure if I extended any further, it would pull out all the way. The slide has been moving in/out just fine, and yearly I clean the Darco and spray a dry lube on it. (I have been thinking about installing rollers for the slide to ride on.)
Anyone had this problem? I don't know what the repair will be, but I would think they have to take to slide apart to replace the wood.
I have the Good Sam Extended Service Plan, and this is what it says about coverage for Slides:
Slide Out Room Unit(s) - Coverage for the slide out room unit(s) includes but is not limited to the following: All mechanical, electrical and hydraulic components, including generator slide out. Excludes the following: Wooden or metal structure, slide-out room(s) weather seals, sealing boots, and awning fabric.
The wood structure is broken, but I can hope that "...but is not limited to..." comes into play. I called GS ESP and the guy thinks it might be covered, but I'm sure he doesn't have a clue. I can't get in to a repair shop for a couple weeks.
