Here you go, hopefully this helps. Any idea what sealant this is?

Top and bottom of the slide mechanism in the corners. It wasn’t behind the mechanism, it’s was on the outside part. So basically the mechanism was installed the sealed around the top and bottom.

So, not sure if you ever got your answer on the “How” , but the ”Why” is that sealant is there to seal the jam to the lower pan area of the slide. It helps to prevent water from getting in behind and working its way back under the pan and or jam.

As far as application, it could be time to get creative if you can’t gain access to apply it with a caulking gun or squeeze tube. Perhaps a Popsicle stick, tounge depressed, maybe even a non medical large bore siringe with a piece of tube on it to direct it. Hope the project is going well!

Everything is back in and working. There does seem to be a lag between the two motors of maybe a second. I sent a video to BAL and the said its perfectly normal and acceptable for the timing to be different by 2 inches. As long as the slide room seals in the out and in position.

For the sealant inside the jam, I'll try the popsicle stick/fingers and see how that goes. The sealant was definitely applied when the slide room was not in the RV.

Glad to hear things are working again!
There is a process to resync the motors. From memory, you have to push buttons on the controller to clear its memory and than fully cycle the slides in each direction 3 times ensure you hold the switch each time until both motors stop.
Bal has a great training library on their site and YouTube that show many of there repair practices.
