Is Sealant Needed When Installing Rubber Wiper Slide Out Seals
Question:
Is it required to put sealant around the edge where the seals meets the trailer? Or does the 3M tape seal it sufficiently

Helpful Expert Reply:
Sealant isn't required when installing the Rubber Wiper Seal and Bulb for RV Slide Out # SR68FR, but I would put a few screws in to help hold the seal since the trailer will bake in the sun and can cause issues with the 3M tape. At minimum I would put a screw on each end. You'll want to overlap your seals so that the top seal sits over the side seals to prevent water from leaking past them.
