[WERA]

Staples working their way out is normal on mine, I just shove em back in. I'm on the road a lot with a lot of different humidity and temp chamges so the wood expands and contracts and does it's thing - no big deal.

I've also left mine sitting at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a month and had no issues with the tape holding - that is just weird. The slide issue is an odd one too, no rattling out of mine but it will whistle if the bolsters aren't in since it doesn't always pull in 100% tight to the side of the RV. I figure that's part of the deal having a slide and push the bolster down further. Rattling sounds though can come form anywhere - what's in the cabinets? What's under the couch? Is it for sure the slide and not something else (my stove will rattle exactly like that on occasion - annoying as hell til I figured it out). Good luck with it and if you still want some help I'll probably be in Vegas in early April and can take a look to see what I can find.
