Well here I go again having to fix the troubles cause by poor workman ship from Heartland. I was doing some cleaning and other work like sealing the shower doors with new sealer. and working on my bed room slideout.I saw some of the screws lose along the lower trim and on the under side of the slide. So I was going to tighten them up. Well they would not pull up. So I looked closer. The wood under the slide was very soft. So I pull the lower trim off and OH MY GOD! The bottom wood that is 1 inch thick was rotting out. The factory did not seal behind the trim. They just seal along the under side. The only thing keeping water from getting in was the LITTLE LINE OF sealer on the outer edge of the trim. I have put new sealer along this every year. But it always open up a little with heating and cooling of the sliding. Well the sealer tape they put along the bottom just trap water in and well the pictures I attach tell the rest of the story. I am making repairs now and will put pictures on here as I go. But everyone who has a Cyclone BETTER CHECK THEIR BEDROOM SLIDE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look close at my pictures. If I had not found it I would be buying a new slide before long.
