chester,
have the same hole on my front slideout to. it was caused when binging in the slide at an angle...this
caused the lower part of the slide to came in first & stopped.....(the top part of the slide was still out an inch or so) this brought the hyd oil pressure up & inturn
caused the locking pins to come down & punched a hole in the roof instead of going into the receptacle for the pin.
what caused it was the window/slide awning strap moving in the wind & being caught in the rolling up awning on the side of the coach.
just another deal with body work to get.

p.s. by the way if u have a rattling noise in the front of the slide out (sounds like a lose 2 x 4 hitting the alum wall...... it may be this same pin moving around in the receptacle as u drive down the road. fix it by dropping a 1" x 1" dia very thick rubber hose in the recept.
