The first picture shows the arm on the side(s) of the kitchen alide:
This second picture shows the arm and the pin. I had the dealer's service remove the arm and seal the pin so that no water could get into the frame past the pin.
This last picture is a view showing the arm, pin and bottom where the tightening bolt for the pin is located.
You can see in the photos some of the sealant that was used.
I cannot advise how they removed the arm off the pin, but looking at it I would say they probably supported the slide and pulled the clip pin and then the arm. Sealed the pin really good by seeing all the sealant that was squeezed out around it. They did this to both side pins of the kitchen slide and also the passenger side bedroom slide as a precaution.
This stopped the water from getting into the bottom frame and running inside the frame and onto the floor.
BTW, The dealer didn't figure this out, nor did Gulf Stream advise of this, I figured it out while watching the water run down the outside of the slide during a rain and into the pin area.
The leak was intermittent, sometimes the water wouldn't run onto the floor until I ran the slide in and sometimes it would leak with the slide out. I found out the water would lay in the frame after a rain then run out onto the floor later. It just about drove the dealer service dept, Gulf Stream and I nuts until I finally figured out what was happening.
Like I stated in a earlier post, since the pins where sealed behind the arms, we haven't had any more water leak problems with kitchen slide.
