Hi all, I have a 2021 GD Imagine XLS 17MKE with a Schwintek in wall slide out. I have already had to replace the forward motor once due to water damage done by the previous owner, and it now appears I have a Hall effect sensor failure on my rearward motor. Problem is there is no access to the rear motor on the inside of the coach as it is pinned right up against the bathroom wall. My question is, has anybody removed the slide out trim from the inside of the coach in order to replace one of these motors? I would rather do that and struggle cosmetically replacing the slide trim than l removing the H column from the outside and running into any larger issues in that undertaking.

One more helpful tip I saw on another forum was to re-attach the decorative trim with a thin Velcro. That way if you’re in a pinch and need to access the motor on the road you can simply pop the decorative trim off and unscrew the flange/molding on the slide frame and have very easy access to the motor within 2 minutes.
