Crimped water lines

How do you fixed an issue when you extend your slide out and it crimps your water lines. I usually try and push the water lines back up inside the slide, and it works sometimes and sometimes not. The dealer was supposed to fix this problem over a year ago, but I think all that they did was what I was doing. Any suggestions?

Take out the plastic lines and replace with braided hoses

Hello and sorry about your issues with crimped lines. With no pictures it's really hard for others to offer suggestion but I do have one for you. You can take some velcro straps of any width or length and wrap around the affected lines. Then attach a spring to it one end of the strap putting tension on the lines pulling it out of the way and attaching the other end of the spring by taking a self taping screw and screwing it into any surrounding wooden structure and attaching spring to the screw. Good luck
