Revolution slide-out seal

[amigote]

We have a 2005 Flwd Revolution LX. WE have a leak (from the more than abundant rain in this area) and it is on the rear side of the bedroom slide-out. The only way hubby can see to get at that seal, which probably needs replacing, is to remove the fabric-covered wooden trim around the window. The next problem is that it seems to be held in place with a screw - or something - under a small diamond-shaped piece of mirror. Does anyone know how to get that mirror off, without snapping it?

Suggest you contact Fleetwood c/relations. Don't have # handy, but I have found them very helpful in the past. They will be able to answer your question. You can do a search on this forum or a web search for the phone #. PLEASE let us other Revolition owners know what you find out...Thanks much!

When you open your bedroom slide did you check the bottom seal at the corners? Sometimes the seal will no fully roll out and will allow water to seep past the seal especially at the corners. It may something simple rather then replacing the seal. Once I had some water come in during a really heavy down pour, facing the bed it was on the left hand corner. I found the seal rolled inward and now I make sure it is fully rolled out and I have not had any problems. I have a 2006 LE

buck62....very good point.

On our 2003 Revolution, I have the same situation. After I put both slides out, I go to both and check the seals. Usually one or two don't roll out fully from top to bottom. I use a thin (1/4" X 1" X 4') slat and run it VERY gently between the external seal(s) and the side of the slide to "persuade" the seals to roll outward to where the designers intended. The bedroom seals seem more prone to my "adjusting" than those on the other slide. Amigote...you might want to take a look at your seals with the slides out and ensure that they are rolled out and seated properly. Maybe it's something simple like that....
