Slid out adjustment

Our main slidout doesnt fully seal at the top when extended.
Im not sure what adjustments I should make, any suggestions are appreciated.

Your slide is hydraulic. Check the Lippert webside, step by step instructions on adjustments. Not hard to follow. I have adjusted several over the years, mine and neighbors. Just mark all your settings before you start. If you mess up, you can at least get back to the start point.

His slide may be hydraulic, but if it's like my 2000 2850RK was ... the main slide has cables and pulleys underneath instead of the balance shaft. Can you take a photo of the underneath of your slide out in question?

The slides are both cable and hydraulic.
I did get them adjusted (correctly may be a diffrent story) but they seal at the top. From what I can tell someone adjusted them for level and not seal, so I returned them to the factory (the obvious rust spots where the bars sat forever)spot and things seem to be good except for a "bounce" when bringing the main one in, but I think I need to adjust the hydraulic rod to match the bars.
I will follow up in a day or two.

It appears that adjusting the hydraulic bar solved the issue. It took a few tries but I think I got it.
Thanks all.
