    Interesting. GD had previously stated using the double EKD style was deliberate to provide additional weatherproofing of the luane-backed outer and inner wall laminations to the aluminum framing to prevent delamination... Nonetheless, the product you used has been around a long while from America's largest and oldest weatherstripping manufacturer - Steele Rubber Products - and their products are made in the USA. This style seal was standard on a lot of Forest River products where they capped the laminate edges and portal framing with a plastic channel cap.

    My 2024 Momentum 415G came with the updated seals. A month ago i was on the lot looking at a 2025 that just came in and it had the corners. I ordered them $24 for 2 pair and installed them. My local Napa sold a 3M Adhesive Promoter for $3 so I used that before the install. They really clean up the seals nicly and serve a function too.

      @@WhyWait The Surveyor factory did that method on my new trailer and the corner of the slide out wore through the flap in just 3 years of normal camping use. The condition of the top seal is great other than the tear from the edge of the slide out rubbing. I now have to replace the top seal. From this experience, I am thinking it’s better to leave the flap not attached to the side seal in the corners. Thanks for your great video. I learned a lot.

    • @WhyWait
      @WhyWait  3 месяца назад

      I don’t know about that. Been using it for years on everything including all the rubber on my vehicles and no problems.
      303 Aerospace Protectant does not contain silicone oils or petroleum distillates, or other agents unsafe for rubber so Id have to see hard science that it’s what’s causing rv seals to degrade.

    FYI- Silicone adhesive sealant will not adhere to gelcoat. If silicone adhesive was used on the gelcoat, you will need to sand the gelcoat to remove the silicone or the polyurethane or even silicone will not adhere to the surface. Once silicone has cured, even new silicone sealant will not adhere to its self. You have to sand the surface until water doesn’t bead up on the surface. The silicone adhesive will eventually lose its adhesion quickly, 6 months to a year. I learned about this from owning a sailboat and sealing hatches and deck hardware. For sealing to gelcoat, you’ll need to use a polyurethane sealant. Unfortunately, polyurethane doesn’t do well with UV exposure. So, it’s important to use one of the UV resident polyurethane, like 3M 4000UV, Sikaflex 295 UV, etc.
