I just changed my gearbox in my front bedroom on our 2017 OR 328bhs. I was a lot harder than I anticipated, but saved a $1000. I completed it and noticed that one side is not closing all the way. Is it a cable issue? I made sure all the cables were tight. My system isn't nicely labeled like some of the youtube videos I've seen, so I have not idea whats 'in' or 'out'. It's getting late and may need to save the redo until next weekend, so am I looking for trouble if it rains?
 
if you are near a dealer maybe go there take some pictures. also BAL has lots of how to videos shows you the different kind of slide systems
 
I know it's a little late, but the biggest key point for that job is marking the chain/sprocket and cable adjustments with Whiteout or nail polish to put it back exactly as it was.
Maybe the easiest way to get back on track would be to look at the YouTube videos again and take pics of the in/out top/bottom blocks to use for reference. I would expect them to be the same for the overhead system you have.
Think things through before adjusting and do not overtighten the cables. Check the tension. It might be better to loosen the opposite side a little first.
