Steve,

thank you for your response. You are "right on" with your information. I know that I can tell when the slide is set correctly by going outside and looking at the " reveal" of the slide to the coach body. The two should "plane out" flush if the bar is set correctly. I witnessed this at Old Town when they adjusted my malfunctioning slide. I also agree that the holes would have to be elongated. Issac actually drilled new holes when he adjusted my slide. I will look at furniture slides or some other type of material to attach to the bottom of the slide to take up the difference in thickness. We can't wait to yank the carpet. 16 years of .......who knows what!!??? I'll take pictures and hope to figure out how to post them here , at a later date.

Glenn, see attach picture,  I wrap my bar with wool felt, so far it is working great against the wood planks.

Just ordered the vinyl for the floor remodel. Should be here in a week or so. I have most all of the carpet out, just some under the drivers seat and in front of the sofa to take out.  Willy White's installation is the closest to mine that I have seen. Maybe he or Ernee know the answer to this question.....
 How should I deal with covering the front of the angle iron with all the bolt heads?? I have removed the existing carpet that was on the slide. Whatever I do should be removable in case the bar needs any future adjustment. Has anyone out there had this issue?? I am thinking in terms of velcro type trim. What have YOU done? I can't wait to see the finished product, but the slide bar is my biggest " Waterloo ". Thanks for any help.
