Have for the last few days been doing the "spring cleaning" thing. Roof clean and treatment, wash and wax. Noticed while on the roof that when I opened the slides the top seals seemed to be stuck to the flanges on the slides. The largest slide even pulled the seal partially out of it's track. This seal looks as if it has broken down somehow like a petroleum substance has got on it. For a fact I know I haven't, and I don't think there is anyway it happened in the storage lot. Short of the county spraying for mosquitoes maybe?
I've treated the seals with 303 protectant, and scrubbed the flanges to get rid of the sticky residue from the deteriorated (I guess) seals. Unit was in storage for only 3 1/2 months.
Is there something I was supposed to, or can, put on the seals, before storage, to prevent this from happening? Or before closing the slides again?
Has anybody run into this problem and come up with a solution for it?
Also have noticed a few small bubbles on the roof that looks like the roof material has come "unstuck" so to speak. Wondering about that also.
Great first spring huh? Still love my baby, just worried about her!! thanks
