Title: Slide out gasket replacement
Post by: Bob Disney on November 06, 2020, 04:04:57 AM: I had a extremely experienced RV tech by the house, and asked him where to find replacement slide out seal
Turns out my 05 Monterey used garage door gasket available at almost any hardware store

This is the barcode number, you can probably get it through eBay using this number

A "wiper" seal is at least 1/4" thick and is engineered for a lateral application. When properly installed, it should have at least 1/2" deflection so it is in constant contact with the slide out bottom and transitions properly when the direction of the room is changed.
Hope this helps, Fred

I posted this photo earlier on this forum but can't find that thread now. So here it is again. Maybe this will help you understand what I'm trying to describe.

I don't which seal OP is referring to. I just know there are different types.

Or email a photo to myself, another contributing member here, or Steve Huber, and we will gladly post it for you (click the envelope under our profile). It would help clear up obvious uncertainty about which seal you’re asking about.
