How do you protect your slide seals??
Most campers have seals to keep air, water & environment out.
What product do you folks use to protect the seals??
I know silicone is an option, but the silicone grease is costly for small amounts, and I understand (maybe wrongly) that silicone spray has solvents in it which are harmful to seals.

Any ideas??

Tks, John

Baby powder or corn starch. You want to prevent the rubber from adhering and tearing when the slide is moving. The rvgeeks have a YouTube video on the topic.

I use 303 aerospace protectant. They stay soft and do not dry or crack.
