Slide out maintenance

I have 3 slides I need to replace the long flat seal on the underside of 2 of the slide
I also need to adjust the rollers just slightly. Any suggestions on where to get the flat rubber to make a new seal. Has anyone had a bedroom slide that the bottom slides out completely but the top does not extend? When half way out I can rock the top of the slide back and forth. I think I need to rebuild the support and rebrace the box
Thoughts ideas

How about from the MFG. Surely they should be able to help you. If not have you tried McMaster Carr they have just about everything.

I upgraded my bottom wiper seal from 1/16” up to 1/4” rubber. I buy from industrial manufacturing.

My slides have an adjusting nut at the outboard arm where it connects to the slide underneath. Loosen the jam nuts and make 1/4 nut turns checking the slide by running it in and out so you don't go to high.
