The "D" shaped gasket in the channel at the top of my main slide creeps "forward" when towing the trailer on the highway. Have tried to slide it back into the channel several times and hold it in place with a screw and large flat washer over the edge of the "flat" side of the gasket, also have tried duct tape but nothing has worked.
Am planning on pulling it completely out of the channel, scraping all the old caulk off the top of the channel and replacing the gasket with a liberal amount of silicone adhesive along the length of the slide. Reinserting the gasket, screws and washers and then caulking the top of the channel.
Does anyone have any better idea as to how to permanently fix this problem?
Thanks,
George
