Wiper/seal replacement

[HOOKS619]

Question for all you smart people.I have a 2011 3400 rl and I need to replace the top wiper seal on the dining room slide out but dont know how to get it out and where to get new one.

I used the link below. They want a premium for shipping FYI. Next time I order I will be ordering for all my seals so I only have to pay shipping once

Getting it off should be easy. I assume it is similar to my 2012. There are screws at each end holding the seal. Remove them, then you just peel the strip off. It is held on by its adhesive.

I took a piece of the seal to my local dealer and had him order the replacement. The logic being, if it was wrong, it was his problem. Plus he was cheaper than Trekwood.

When I I pulled on wiper after removing the screw I didn't see any adhesive behind it ,looks like it fits in a channel but cant pull it out.

The outside side wiper seals are of a design that slips over a metal extrusion, so you need to put a flat screwdriver to the inside to help it off the metal. I think the top seal is the same design. For my side seals, after I removed a screw at the top and bottom...I could grab the wiper flap and pull toward the side of the slideout to remove. One required the screw driver to get it started.

The wiper seals just push on to the metal flange and are secured by a screw at the ends. The bulb seals slide into the mating part of the slide flange, and the screws holding the corner plastic pieces need to be removed to allow the seals to slide out and new ones to be slid in. The seals are ordered by the foot, and come as a continuous piece. I am pretty sure they will be the same as mine on a 2012. This is the order for the seals I ordered 2 1/2 years ago from Trekwood and what I paid for them:

Just a shout out. These posts are 4 years old but still right on point. It pays to search first and then ask a question second, if needed

If the slide seals are the clip on style and I believe they are then it’s a very easy task..

Thanks. I’m an old guy and not very good with videos and editing but I give it a go.. Hope the video helps a few folks out..

I called CW last year out of curiosity to see what the going rate was to change One large hydraulic slide out seals ( clip on style ) and they quoted me over $600 for one slide..

I was just curious.. I do all my own repair work ..

I bought a roll of the slide seals a few years ago. I think it was only $1 to $3 a foot. I know prices have gone up, but 10 times would be crazy.
