Replacing Slide Out Seals On A 2019 Forest River Vibe 26RK

Updated 05/01/2024 | Published 04/30/2024

Question:

I have a 2019 Forest River Vibe 26RK and I am looking for the exterior and interior wiper seals that surround the two sides and top of the slideout. Can you please provide a part number and install instructions so I can determine whether this is a job I want to tackle. Thanks

Hey Eric,

Manufacturers don't list the part numbers they use so you'll need to take some pictures of the seals so that we can see the profile and take some measurements. You'll likely need to remove a small portion to see how it mounts to the wall/flange. You likely have both a bulb and wiper seal on the trailer wall and a bulb seal on the slide out flange and these will typically be glued and screwed into place or ran through a c-channel style track.

Replacement isn't hard but it's a bit time consuming peeling off the old and replacing with the new seals. The inside can be a bit challenging as well because you have to have the slide out partially out so that you can get behind the trim and still have room to work on the seal inside. If you can get me some pictures I'd be happy to look for the best replacement for you.
