I was able to get new seals from Trekwood. I had applied rubber seal treatment a couple times a year, so I don't know why they rotted, except they had a lot of exposure to intense sun for a lot of their life. Don't know how often I would have needed to apply 303 or anything else to prevent the damage. Fortunately, the replacement was not difficult.
The purchase of our 2017 in June sat on a lot in FL for a long time as well. Surprised at find so little to even mumble about so far. Have pulled it about 5000 miles so far......
