I am in the process of replacing my slide seals and the question is is it better to cut the seals and install in 3 pieces that is 1 across the top and 2 down the sides or is it better to try and bend the seal around the 2 top corners. The seals currently on my slide are bent around the corners and are pulling away leaving a gap in the corner which does not seem correct

I would do it like the factory did it. One piece.

When I replaced mine did it in one piece. that was probably 7 years ago no issues yet

I am in the process of ordering my seals, on one thread I read one guy cutting a 45 degree angle, then used a bonding agent to glue the 45, making it one seal. I think that is what I will do, that gap bothers me. good luck. BTW where did you find your seals? thnx

I purchased my seals on AMAZON AP products 018-478 Double seal bulb and I think I am going to install in 1 piece. these seals seem flexible enough to go around the corners and cutting a 45 and making a watertight fit

Has anyone replaced the wiper seal on the bottom of the slideout?

Ken, If we are talking about the outside flap wiper that touches the bottom slide floor. Yes I have.

I just purchased a generic seal the correct width. I am not sure how you are suppose to get a complete seal at the corners/ends of the floor where the seals are all overlapping. Seems like a pretty poor design on mine.
