slideout issue

Just wondering if anyone has the same issue. Just noticed that only after moving the slideout in and out a few times there are scuff marks on the ceiling. It seems that the woodwork is very tight to the ceiling and rubs on the ceiling in a few spots when sliding in and out

It should not do that...make sure your level when running it in and out...
mines close but there is still plenty of room...
If it worked the first couple of times with no problem then perhaps something has come loose or broke...have it checked ASAP or you might end up with it stuck in the out position...

There is an 1/8" maybe less between the wood trim and the ceiling when in all the way and when the slide is out all the way. In one spot it is practically touching the ceiling when in all the way. I think they just need to remove the trim and reinstall a 1/4" lower and it wouldn't rub. I'm going to contact the dealership today about it

Thanks everyone for checking. I talked to the dealership and i'm taking the trailer in to get fixed. Mine is obviously to close to the ceiling and i want it fixed before anymore damage occurs
