Question:
Rhe pass-through locker compartment doors, under the mangers, in my straight load trailer, are leaking when we get a lot of rain. It is a steel trailer. What can I do to seal these?

Expert Reply:
Hey Elizabeth. To stop your compartment doors from leaking, I recommend the Rubber Ribbed Wide Seal for RV and Trailer Doors item # SR68ZR. This 9/16" wide x 5/16" tall rubber seal has a 3M adhesive backing that'll stick to the inside perimeter of your compartment door. It'll keep your compart dry on a rainy day.
Before you install the item # SR68ZR seals you'll want to make sure you remove any existing seals and adhesive. Cleaning it with rubbing alcohol helps too.
How big are your compartment doors and are there any visible gaps?

I used this around the side door and rear door of my car trailer. It did the job very well! No water gets in now!
