Slide Seals

[Citycamper]

Anybody have to replace their slide outer seals (the one around the outer wall). It is a foam type "D" seal, found that the sun had rotted it out and made it split. Local dealer wants $180 for 50 ft and I only need 24 ft. I know I can order it but I need the trailer for next week so have to bit the bullet on this one. Would have thought that it would have lasted longer then 4 years.

Update
Took off the old seal, it is held in place by 3M tape. Seal came off easy, 3M tape did not. Tried goo gone, mineral spirits, and several other things to no avail. Best thing I found was WD40 and a plastic razor blade and lots of scraping. Finished off with an automotive wax and grease paint prep. New seal went on quick and easy with attention to the corners, I used spring clamps here to hold it in place and a little sealant where the manufacture had overlapped the sides.

I lightly coated my side slide seals with 303 Aerospace Protectant. And just now remembered I didn't do the top because I'm scared to get on top of the trailer.

Need to do that today, since I have to get up there and measure total height from top of A/C unit. (Unless someone knows??? 2015 189FDS) ?

Nah, I need to not be afraid to get up there...
