Just replaced my bedroom bulb seals due to Florida sun damage again. I was able to get the vertical bulb seal out, but the horizontal one was a bear. Instead of trying to remove the slide topper tube, which on my 3800 is super long, I removed a short piece of the bulb seal being held in by the screw and then used a Drexel to grind the screw point that bites into the back of the bulb seal. Was a crappy job to do. I didn't try to remove the roller tube for fear that I would not be able to do it by myself and I have heart issues. I did not try to find a u-tube video of how to safely remove the roller tube in order to easily change the seal. But I will when faced with doing one of the other slides.
