'02 slide bottom roller/wear strip re-attach?

The bottom/underside ferrous metal strip has become detached.. What should I use to re-attach?  Glue??
(This is on an '02 "train" slideout.)

That's what I'd do Red. Do some research for what would work best.

Mine has 2 counter sunk screws at the end and they have worked good so far but like mentioned it could cause a problem.. Thought they were factory.. guess not.

I vaguely recall someone on the forum doing that some years ago...  Off to search!  ;)

OOF - found a caveat to NOT have those screws in place

How to PDI Slides Needed 2002 U320

Sounds like FT might have started with them early in the 2002 model year then maybe eliminated them (our '03 did not have them that I recall).

Call Xtreme and ask what they use.  They put on new ones after my delam repair.

2002 was the only year for the HWH "Train" system slide mech. IDK if they used the shims for other year/system types..

Well time for an update...
Have an appointment in Junction City @ Premier to re-attach the wear strips..
Weather isn't gonna cooperate. so will just have them do the deed..

Cummins in Coburg got the replacement (re-cored) radiator and (re-cored) after cooler back from the re-builder shop several days earlier than promised.. cheaper than buying new)
so all is progressing for our 1st fulltimer outing  (heading to the "Q").
