The rubber seals on the bottom of my slide out are starting to unravel. Can anyone recommend an adhesive I could use to reattach them? Thanks, Cody91 |

Do you mean where they are attached to the camper or where they touch the slide? Got a pic by any chance? ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

cody: do you mean that it came off the track? mine does to. i have taken it completely off and re-installed back on the track, but it keeps coming off, especially right in the middle by the gear. i am able to get part of it back on track so the slide seals as it should, but yes frustrating. I used a silcone caulk when re-installing but obviously it didn't work. I think i may need a new track. I use silcone spray on the seals as well, but the bottom one just seems to want to stick on the slide which is why it comes off (pulls it off the track). hopefully some good advice out there. hogone ------------- Jon & Pam 2013 RP177 2023 F150 2017 HD Streetglide CHEESEHEAD |

Hogone: Yes, it comes off the track by the middle. I also tried putting it back but it does not stay. I was thinking it was either missing adhesive or it was supposed stay in place mechanically and was not positioned correctly My Rpod is less than a year old. I wasn't sure if others had esperienced this so thanks for the response. I'll try to take a picture this evening.

I have the same issue. I used a few more screws to hold it but it still pulls off at the middle. Same with the silicon spray. Use it liberally but the bottom seal just likes to stick to the slide. ------------- Todd and Beth 2013 RP 176 T 2013 Nissan Pathfinder |

Here's the picture of the sagging slide out seal. It seems to work its way off the track and won't stay on. Particularly in the middle.

thats what mine does cody. I did take mine all the way off and re-installed on track; they slide on. there is a screw on each end, so make sure you take those out. in fact, i took the side ones off too(which if i recall needed to be to get to the bottom one and install on track). the side ones were pullling off too. then i re-caulked. everything is cool except the bottom one still comes off in the middle by the gear. hogone ------------- Jon & Pam 2013 RP177 2023 F150 2017 HD Streetglide CHEESEHEAD |
