Top Slider Seal Replacement

[PAbernathy]

Greetings Everyone,

I have a 2019 Coleman by Dutchmen Lantern 263BH.

When we got it the seal was not even down to the metal track so we had them extend it. Well, they said they did but we never checked. Yes, we really never used it open in a heavy rain..go figure.

Anyway, he just had a hard blowing rain and I noticed a leak at slide. I got up there and looked and guess what...the seal is not even down to the channel, in other words rain can blow right in...seal is no where near the roof of slide...its a gap.

So, we need to replace that seal with a longer one. Does anyone know what type of seal that is...maybe a model number to know how it mounts...again its a 263BH and we just need to extend that seal down....

Any help would be appreciated.

I am thinking of rubber cementing a seal (trimmed) to the existing seal to get me about 1 inch....so its touching the slides roof.

Rubber cement may not hold but perhaps an epoxy designed for rubber or a silicone glue.

I agree. Simple cheap and effective. A full seal replacement by a technician is expensive, DIY is not difficult but getting the material, tools, ladders, etc is time consuming.
