    Slide driveshaft hitting the rear auto-level mounting bracket

    We were hearing a banging sound from the kitchen slide while extending and retracting. So I had a look. The slide driveshaft hitting the rear auto-level mounting bracket on our new 2020 295RL. Looks to me that GD was aware of this when it left the factory, I see that someone obviously cut away a bit of the bracket on both sides of the mount, I can see the "grinder" marks on the bottom of the auto-level bracket, but still hit the bracket. (Tried to post pictures but could not, maybe pics are to big?) There is about a minus 3/8" difference from the top of the auto-level bracket to the bottom of the slide on the opposing slide. Has anyone come across this issue, or have a fix without major surgery?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    I'd immediately be in contact with GD to fix this. Or give you a new, correctly assembled, rig.

    Regarding posting pictures, you need to be a paid member to do so.
