    31MB slide “pop” when moving in or out

    When I move the bunkhouse slide on my 31mb, I get a little “pop” or maybe described as a “jolt”. It’s almost like something is binding for a brief second and then releases when it moves 2 to 3 inches. I have noticed it when moving the slide in or out and it doesn’t matter which position it starts in.


    On thing I haven’t done is start moving the slide out. Let it get past the “pop” about a foot then stop. Then start going out again. Not sure if it will “pop” then also or only when changing directions.

    Not much to go on I know. Any thoughts?

    Motors and rails all lubed.

    Good chance it's the wiper seals resisting until they flip. Have someone watch the seals as you move the slide.

    This group is awesome. That is exactly what it was Geo. Thanks!!! More aggressive than either of the other two slides. But doesn’t look like anything to worry about. Thanks again!!
