Resolved Kitchen top slide seal

[AbdRahim]

Went to lubricate the slide seals and found the seal is pulling off in the center. I have been unable to get it secured. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this?

Well., I cannot believe no one has been too aggressive in cleaning under that seal and pulled it off the track. So, perhaps I can say you heard it here first folks.

Anyhow, I think I got it back on. If one sticks one’s finger all the way to the back while holding the attached section in place, one can feel the groove in the seal that slides onto the metal. It takes some stretching to slip it back on, but I think it is done. We will see if it stays on through multiple slide cycles.

Those bulb seals have metal in them that fits tight when slid on motorhome. If it came off in the middle there is a chance the metal rusted letting it to slide off. Keep eye to see if it comes down again. without a slide topper it's not that difficult to change yourself.

Thanks. I think I pulled too hard while trying to cle underneath it. Although, I did not feel metal. It seemed like I just stretched the rubber back on to the metal flange. That was enough of a chore. The instructions say don’t cut it at the corner. It looks like even Newmar cut it at one corner. I will have to check it again.
