My picture is deceptive in that it was taken looking down on the raised
seat with the table to the right side of the picture.  Like you, I use
something to push it back in when it starts to hit the cabinet or the trim
strip.  And, I try to be careful and catch it before it hits that strip but
on our last trip it got ahead of me and scratched the strip pretty good.  I
am just trying to figure out a way to create a permanent fix.

Thanks,
