    Slide top seals

    While doing some cleaning yesterday I noticed the top seal on the dinette side of coach not folded over onto top of slide.

    Is this okay? No leaks with some real heavy rains, but seems short. Easy fix if needed? Is there a next size wider?

    Thanks.

    Try running it in and back out. See if the seal will come out

    Its a squeegee seal. It does nothing to seal the slide out.

    The slide itself is tapered from the coach wall towards the outside slide, so water will run downhill when level. The bulb seal on the inside will seal water if any happens to get through.

    I am currently sitting with the same issue no the bulb seal did not work i got water in over the inside frame. It may be slightly off level but not enough to cause this. Is there another fix to this perhaps another seal??
