Did you put it back together with rivets or did you use panhead screws like the Lippert instructions suggested? Since the top two rails were not parallel I am guessing you had to drill new holes, did you re use the bottom holes and did you have any issues doing that (like screws that would not tighten?).

Just a thought….. I just had the Vroom Slide System installed to replace the Schwintek System on my SV34. They used rivets to attach their tracks instead of screws.

Screws can eventually loosen. Especially if they are over-tightened, not long / large enough for the job or going into softer metal. I’ve read of a few people have issues with track screws loosening, falling out, etc.

If it were me, I’d consider rivets on the tracks.
