slide seal issues

[akdaltron2]

I have a new to me 2005 winebago journey 39k with 3 slides. the kitchen slide top seal seems to be about 3-4 inches short of the total distance it needs to cover. like it shrank... (don't see how that can happen) has anyone experienced this? any suggestions? I tried to "stretch" it to cover but that doesn't seem to e working.

thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you can provide.

seals do shrink,
its time to replace them

As said they do shrink, but that seems to be a lot. You can call Lichtsinn and they most likely will be able to give you the part number or the length the seal should be.

One of the links here should also lead you to the part number

Third you could get in touch with Steel Rubber and order new seals.

I am trying to find a new seal to replace mine. called Lichtsinn RV and they gave me a part number and an better picture but said that winnebago is backordered and cant get it for 2-4 weeks (he hopes) we are heading out on a 3 week adventure in 2 weeks so I am hoping to find it now.

part number 136978-01-01a







also tried steele rubber rv seals they don't have anything like that profile.

any suggestions? is there a non winnebago equivelent?

thanks

I don't know where you are located but I had the seals on the passenger slide replaced last year at the factory service center in Forest City. $750.
