You might have the same problem if you move the screw to the inside and the slide is out. The inside trim piece blocks the motor I believe

I spoke to a thor tech rep at a rally and he said to change the rear bedroom motor on the 29m the trim piece has to be removed just to have enough room to work. There's only about 6" space from the rear wall and the slide

Thanks Jerry.....

On my Magnitude I don't have to remove any trim. I only need to pull down the seal to access the motor. I saw a piece of metal behind the seal where I might be able to drill a hole and put a screw in to secure the motor.

I do like your idea of a rubber grommet. I just worry about getting the hole perfectly aligned to drill through the slide so it is right on top of the screw.

Thor could easily drill a hole, seal the circumference of it and then put a plug in that could be removed to access the screw if needed. It would be such a small design change but make such a big difference in serving the slide if it a motor dies when it is closed.
