Hello,

I just discovered that sometime during the winter, my 2020 Imagine XLS 23bhe shed a part... I found it at the bottom of the front end of the side, with the two broken screws. It's kind of a double L shape corner brace, no idea what the official name would be... Approx 2 x 2.5 inch. One screw was mounted to the interior wall, the other to what I assume is kind of a frame of the Schwinntek slide. Both screws broke off. There's a another one of this higher on the slide, but none at all at the rear end of the slide box, with otherwise looks exactly the same. There are also no holes at the reward end, so i can rule out to have lost those already...

Any idea what this is and what it really does? Doesn't seem to be really structural considering the tiny screws....

We have a trip coming up in two weeks from now and I'd like to find out what this is before we hit the road...

Thanks for suggestions
Matt

Those are back up brackets.

They are just there in case of slide column screw failure.

You can put them back on anywhere that you can reach.
