Maintenance of Slide Out

   Hi!
This is our first year using our 2013 RPod 177 and we have noticed issues with the rubber seal/wiper on the top and sides of our slide out.  We were told when we purchased the RPod to use a Silicone lube spray on the outside of the wiper when the room is slid out.  I have used Liquid Wrench silicone spray nearly each time we've camped because I noticed the rubber was not moving evenly/fully.  Now I notice that the rubber is wavy in some areas, not making contact with the RPod slide out, and has a tear in one spot.  What do other RPodders do to maintain their slide out rubber seals/wipers?  Our warranty will be expiring next month and I'm wondering if this is faulty?

 Aside from this, we are loving our upgrade from pop-up to our "Cabin on Wheels"!  

Thank you for any input you may have!

Michelle
