Kitchen slide toe jammer on 337RLS and 303
Many folks commented at the rally (along with me) about the bottom of the kitchen slide being raised up. This causes several issues, snagging your toes underneath, having dropped items roll under the slide floor, dirt accumulating, etc.
A few years back, GD started adding rollers on the inboard edge of the kitchen slider box. (along with the same rollers mounted to the floor) This allows the slide box to move squarely along the floor and not damage the linoleum.
I took garage door weather strip (from Lowes) and put it behind the molding. Cut the small lip off down one side. The bottom edge is just above the main floor surface and angles towards the living space. I put the screws in every 24" through the front. (very secure) Pre-drill pilot holes for screws. The rubber is stiff enough to keep your toes out and anything else on the floor. It looks and works awesome! The picture shows the parts used.

Dan - that's a great idea.......I don't recall anyone doing (at least sharing here) something like this. By the way early builds (at least 2014 and 2015) did have rollers under the kitchen slide. It's been so long since I looked but I think we have 5 rollers mounted to the slide and 4 on the floor. I'll have to check on the spring when we take it out of our indoor storage.
Thanks, again for sharing your idea !
