It has rained a few times since we have had it. It actually rained a little this morning. I am going to let it dry today then get proflex tomorrow. They said if I use tape it may not hold and peel up with slide going in and out. Then become sticky .
Well...they are the experts, but I wouldn't do that. I would pull the slide in and put a long strip of eternalbond, say 6" on either side of the hole.
LOL...it's called eternalbond for a reason.

Odd it is on top with the loose cable. I think they are related.

Looks like I will be in every forum before it is over. lol. Looks like my choice of 2024 was a mistake. Thought I was being clever avoiding 2022 2022 2023 model years😂
Nah...you'll be fine once you get the hiccups out of the way. For referrence, my sister just bought a brand new 2024 Grand Design 310GK and we (well, really I found them using my PDI) found 10 issues during her PDI that took 3 days to fix. And when we got there (dealer called and said all were fixed) 3 were not.
Hopefully, frame flex doesn’t bite them. I know it’s the internet and all, but seems there is a lot of complaints being levied against grand design over this.Eternabond is my choice as well.
Yea..they will keep an eye on that for sure.

Took to dealer. After adjusting cable still loose .They put eternabond tape on tear on slide roof. Told me to take it in when we have more time as we are on road. They broke closet door stopper in rail. They Busted screw stopper off which is poor engineering for closet doors. 🤬🤬😳
I know this is old- Did you have any more issues? Any resolution on the loose cables?

Hi Chad, loose cables on BAL slides can be caused by various things on both the models that they offer.
Generally speaking, it could be related to mis aligned, loose or bent brackets that are attached to the slide box, a motor that may have come loose, gear deflection on the motor transmission box, cables not on a pulley correctly, slack in the chain or just normal gear wear or even a jam bracket that may have come loose.
BAL has excellent support video’s out on their site on each of their slide products. There is also one on the adjustment process.

Had a mobile tech adjust and alliance paid for it. Cable still loose but still goes in and out evenly. Knock on wood. Alliance told me do not adjust anymore as it could mess up. Just said keep eye on cable.
