The photo says it all. When I lower the op on my 2005 17T the wall by the wardrobe pulls away by about 3/8 of an inch. I tried securing the screws inside the cabinet, but they pulled right out.

Has anyone else see this on their rig?

From what I can see, it may be a cable adjustment. You might have too much tension on one side. Also, check your guide blocks. It may have a cracked or is missing.

I think you're on to something. I know I do need to adjust the cables. The wall is bowed in front too. I thought it was water damage, but given the aluminum tubing and the uneven cables, I wonder if this isn't the cause of all my problems.
