Main slide binding both ways

I seemed to have messed up my main slide on my 371REBH. After cleaning it out after our last trip, I moved it to our camper shed. When extending the slides after leveling, the main slide, the one with the dinette and couch, got jammed when one of the upper doors on the entertainment center got wedged in the slide. Believe it or not, that framed glass door survived without any damage. The slide could not be moved in either direction initially. I rocked it back and forth a couple times and it finally broke loose and was able to be closed, but the slide was about 1" out of alignment, with the trailing slide being further out. Not sure if this was a pre-existing condition or not, as the lead side was what was bound. But, now, after aligning the slide, the slide binds when moving in either direction when it is approximately 6" from being fully closed. It will pop and jerk a little and then continue moving. This is the LCI single piston hydraulic slide mechanism. I dropped the corr-plast and see nothing damaged or bent.



Any ideas what is damaged and how to fix?
