I just trimmed off the molding, because it's almost never visible. You can only see it from that side of the bedroom, but unless you crawl across the bed you can't "get to" that spot unless the slide is out (covering the molding) in the first place.
Why don’t manufacturers drill a hole thru outer flange where motor screw is?? It could be covered with plastic snap in cap. Nope that would make this job too easy.
Find your slide room control module, find the small gray over ride button next to the dip switches, with a small pointed tool carefully press the button six time and hold on the 7th until the let's flash ( red/green), your room will now be in override and now you'll be able to extend your room for better access. BTW, I am a rv tech so I wouldn't tell you to do this if I wasn't. To take the board out of override, press and hold the grey button for a couple of seconds and release. The lights should go out. Hope this helped
The only video that worked for me , I would like to give thanks to you and my sawz all.

I am doing this job today on my fifth wheel. Moral of my story: always replace the motors in pairs.
Do you happen to know the motor part # from Amazon?
What was the final fix for keeping the molding attached ?

If it was easy, how would repair shops make their money? :D
Point taken.
I have the same issue but the slide is stuck in and also the motor won’t come up

Is there a way to manually (mechanically) retract the slide if you lost battery power?@@Mike-tn3wc
If you knew where the screw was located you could drill a hole thru the slide room flange in the right location…
