It is possible that the short inner rails do not line up with the long outside rails,
Tighten screws to start with, then check for alignment with a straightedge....
also check the ends of the rails! Rails broken by closing the cover before the rails are fully retracted, can also cause this problem!
Have a nice day.....Bert
