Recent experience with slide bladder at HWH

We developed a slide bladder leak after 16 years and headed to HWH for repairs and have attached my receipt for services rendered for those interested in recent pricing.  That was FYI.  Now I have a question has anybody replaced the stainless steel glides on the bottom of the slide-out.  Mine were removed accidentally by HWH (Oh so sorry not HWH).  Thanks in advance for any help.

The price is real close to what I was charged in Nacog. Feb 2016. Yes, they did have to rebuild my slide blocks and add bushings because the old ones were worn down to the point to where the slide out was touching the MH body when running the slide out.

Note.. Ours had been vandalized with a box cutter..

My manifold was almost double.. mark up I guess.. but if I drove the 2500 miles it would have been more in fuel so I got a good deal lol.. Not to bad.. 16yrs of service? Did you ever use the slide :)) ?  ^.^d

That is about what we paid in 2016.

Hey Art!
  Just took coach to Extreme Gr to have bottom of main slide delamination repair done to start next week. Also having Zip Dee awning material replaced over same slide room. May be needing the slide bladder done too (?) In all may be looking at a $ 12 to 15K bill easy- that is according to the estimate.

Yes David with 1700000 miles the slide has gone in and out just a few times.  I am a firm believer of visually checking from the outside that the bladder is fully collapsed before moving it.  I do not rely on the light.

Does anybody have any thoughts on the stainless strips and replacing them.
