If the slide is slightly misaligned, it will catch on the T-Bar creating a hard mechanical stop. When this happens, I can use a crowbar in there to force the slide around the T-Bar in order to fully retract the slide. I need to have an expert look at why this is happening and to find a more permanent solution. Below is a photo taken from under the slide looking a the white T-Bar. I hope this is helpful!

That T-Bar is a safety device to keep the retracted slide from bouncing up and down when moving. It should not touch anything on the way in or out. Check to see if there is an adjustment possible where a slot is under the screws holding it down and adjust it slightly left or right.
Good luck.
