Screw (or something) loose under slide

Last trip I noticed a small scratched place about the size of a dime on the linoleum in the kitchen area. It is located where it is 2-3" under the slide when the slide in retracted. I am guessing a screw (or something) is hanging down a little and scuffs the floor while bouncing down the highway. It does not scrape the floor when extending/retracting the slide. But I am concerned it will eventually drop enough to start doing just that.
Problem is that I see no way to get to it. The gap between the bottom of the slide and the floor is so close I can't even slip a finger under the slide to try to feel under there. It is diretly under the drawer under the range, but no way to access it thru there. And no way to get there from the outside.
Any suggestions?

Mark the rail brackets under the slide for reassembly alignment. Remove the bolts and brackets. With the slide in about 1/2 way, tilt the top of the slide out and see if that gives you enough room to access the screw. Or ... buy a Slide-Out Slicker (http://www.rvupgradestore.com/Slide-...31342d38313531) and keep it under the area in question when deploying and retracting the slides.

Could it be a piece of broken glass or a small kitchen utensil under there that's scratching the floor. That's happened to me.
