Inner slide seals

All the seals on the top of the slides, the ones in use when the slides are extended, are pulling loose and rolling over so they do not make a good seal. I noticed a breezefrom some where on a windy day and traced it to the dinette slide on our 3400RL. That seal is twisted about 40 degrees in two places. I then checked the rest and they are all like that. I would not have noticed at all if it wasn't windy that day.
Suggest you all runn you hand along the top of the slide seal to see if it is rolled or twisted over. I believe the flat side should be agains the wall and it is mostly but like I said, severl feet of each is twisted.
I have not contacted Keystone re this yet as I just noticed it and things are very hectic for us right now and cell coverage is poor.
When I find out some thing else, I wiull post it here.

Does it help to lube the seals with slide seal lube? Or does it still do the same thing?

New info. While hooking up this morning, I examined the slide gaskets while only part way in. They have not actually pulled away from the walls but are slightly loose in a few places, causing some rolling. I will contact keystone soon to find out what kind of glue touse to secure these loose places to wall. More later.

Hello,
Our 06 3475RL main slide top seal was the same way. Our dealer replaced the entire seal with a rubber seal about 1 1/2 in. thick. Cured the problem,the tech stated that the plastic oem seal was a cheap-inferior product.
best of luck
Bruce
