Tackle slide maintenance with confidence using seals from Steele Rubber. Pick the right match by identifying your wiper's side profile and total length—these aren't make-and-model specific—and choose the installation style you need: glue-on, peel-n-stick, press-in, push-on, or slide-on. Some include a bulb and some do not. A small amount of lubricant or silicone in the track can ease installation.
Yes. The rubber can be hard to slide in, so a small amount of seal lubricant or silicone in the track helps—use a little so you still have grip. On long runs, push from one side and pull from the other to feed it through. For clip-on styles, a careful pry with a non-marring tool can help seat it. Leave a couple inches extra per slide to get a good overhang and block daylight.
Match the style and size to your current seal. Peel back a section to see if it's Glue On, Peel-N-Stick, Press-In, Push-On, or Slide-On, and note if it's a wiper only or a wiper with bulb. Measure the side profile and the total length where it installs. RV make and model don't determine the seal—your slide-out's mounting style and dimensions do.
Confirm your track or flange matches the seal's mounting style, and verify the orientation so the wiping edge faces the slide. Some tracks point outward, which can affect sliding in trim that covers screws—be ready to protect screw heads with caulk if the cover won't fit. Measure the total length needed and the seal's side profile before ordering.
They can restore the slide's edge seal, but leaks can also come from the roof and seams. If a new bulb or wiper seal is installed correctly and it still leaks, inspect and reseal the roof and exterior seams. Also check that the wiper isn't curled and that the orientation matches the design so it contacts the slide properly.
