Just as a point of interest, water intrusion caused the base of the wear pads to deteriorate enough that the skin of the rear slide was touching the fixed coach skin. I jacked the slide up and removed the wear pad and used a bore scope to reveal the substrate steel gone!
Cut a piece of 3/4 thick flat stock, to pad size, and matched the pin holes on one side and machined pins on the other.
This drawing might be easier to understand
The thick spacer with male pins and female bores was fished into place and the wear pad was then placed on top. The result was a bit over sized but not enough to cause any issues. I believe this was caused by the exact issue Jack eluded to!
