I know we've addressed this in other forums, but I can't tell you how to get to them. Yes, we have continued to enhance our products over the years and we have added pieces to certain slide-out rooms to help keep water from penetrating the room during wet travel (when it's raining).
Note: It should be mentioned that we build thousands of coaches prior to this year the conventional way (an industry standard) which have had no problems with the slide seals.
Just because all slide rooms don't have the extra corner blocks (a new design provided to us from Lippert starting earlier this year) or the D-seal, it doesn't mean they are going to have issues. Most often, it is the adjustment of the slide room itself that prevents water penetration.
That is why when someone calls the factory, they are not simply told: "OK, we'll just send out some of these newer designs to you under warranty..."
If someone is having an issue with their slide room allowing water in - the first and foremost thing we are going to do is check the slide room and how it is sitting in the opening. Because the main slide room seals remain the same: double wipers on both sides and the top, and thicker, taller wipe across the bottom of the room. Again, this design has keep hundreds of thousands of RV slide out rooms dry, because it is the standard slide out wiper system in this industry and has been for years.
Just don't assume that any issue a coach has is because of the lack of the corner blocks or extra D-seal.
Do some people choose to purchase corner seals or additional d-seal? Yes, and they are welcome to do so.

Is anyone available to address this question now?
