You sure you don't have it on backwards?

The long slot goes to the inside cable and the short slot goes to the outside cable.

They shouldn't be touching if it is on correctly.

Having said that you can get one of those white teflon slides.

The Hicks (white) teflon slide works great on the Bowtechs. It pulls the cables over a little further than the stock slide, but not too far.It actually will give you a little more fletching clearance as well. Lancaster Archery carries them.

I put the Alpine Glide slide on my Patriot and have had no problems with it.

Throw another vote in for the Hicks slide. Though I chose to keep the stock slide on my Old Glory I put the Hicks on my Diamond Triumph.

I think if your cables are touching then its on backwards.
