What Is The Purpose Of The Little L-Shaped Rubber Blocks In A Schwintek Slide Out System
Question:
The pieces I have found look like the piece to the left of your red arrow. I have found a couple on the floor next to the slide edges inside the trailer on the floor after moving the slide. I found something that shows them at the inside end of the track to prevent water intrusion. Not sure if that is correct or not.

Expert Reply:
The blocks you're referring to in the # LC26VR kit are called "Flat back rack plugs" and are used to close the holes up on either end of the track. This just prevents water, bugs, etc. from getting into the opening of the track and damaging it or clogging it up. You can try to pop them back into place if possible or get replacements of just this part from Lippert if you're only needing this one part.
