Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
When I slide my kitchen out, the top doesn't tilt back into place. I have to climb onto the counter and push the top back while somebody else runs the slide.
Thank you. I'll take a look at the seals and clean and lubricate them. As for the mechanisms, I believe they are motor driven, not hydraulic. I can see teeth all along the track of the slide out. I don't have to put much pressure on the slide, just a little bit on the top to finish it off.
I should also add that the slide makes the distinctive "clicking" indicating that it is all the way out and the bottom is firmly seated against the seal. it's just the top that doesn't get all the way out.

There are a few different types of slide mechanisms. Most have adjustments underneath. Without further info it will be hard to troubleshoot. How much pressure do you have to put on it? One quick thought, the exterior walls of the slide out has rubber seals....treat the seals and the sides with a wax and lubricant, the friction could be keeping the slide from dropping into place.....
