REPLACING YOUR RV SLIDE OUT D-SEALS | Easy, Necessary RV Maintenance

Рет қаралды 55,130

Күн бұрын

Full time RV living is always full of preventive maintenance. One of those items is slide maintenance. Here we talk about how to replace RV slide out seals. Mainly replacing the RV slide out D-seals. These D-seals are located on all sides of your RVs slide outs inside and out. We use a UV protectant on these rubber seals but over time the weather and sun will still reek havoc on these and they will need replacing. Luckily this is a pretty simple job and we lay it all out for you in this video.

Thank you very much for this video! I knew I would have to address the problem after noticing our top one are worn similar to yours. I am not very handy but after watching your tutorial on how to do this I am confident that it's something that I can easily do as well. Thanks again for taking the time to put out this type of content!

Thanks Friend! We picked up a new East to West Silver Lake Travel Trailer and My D-Seals (took forever to find out what they were called) were not secured from the factory. Your video showed me exactly what I needed. I need a set screw to keep these seals in place. The bead of calk has broken on them all as they are moving around. Super helpful video my friend. Thanks!

@WhyWait 8 ай бұрын

You know what’s crazy is even with two set screws and a washer now I still have one on top of my slideout that still comes loose going down the road, rips through the set screw and starts sliding off. It’s crazy. I just put new sealant on it so I’ll see if that finally helps. For the life of me this one D seal is just set on coming off down the road 🤷🏻‍♂️ Appreciate you watching 👍🏼

Great video. I like and use the lexel also. Tricky though , very small bead dip finger in mineral spirit and softly not to squish everywhere smooth fast. Leave it alone don't even think about it lol. It has held up very well on my toy hauler. Again, great video time to tackle the slide seals.

@WhyWait Жыл бұрын

Good deal Steve. Next time I do the job I think I’ll try Lexel. Never look forward to that job though lol

Do you know what size screw goes in for the D seal? Thanks

@timothyculliver1993 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for all your help with RV repairs, have you ever used 3M Black Weatherstrip Adhesive (08011) on your slide out rubber installation? This is the adhesive use in installing windshield in automotive, bonds great with rubber and fiberglass.

@WhyWait 4 ай бұрын

Appreciate that. It’s funny you mention this cause last time I replaced one about 3 months ago I was going every where trying to find that 3M product and all of the stores only had the 3M yellow…who wants yellow??!! Hahaha Thanks for watching Tim 👍🏼

@timothyculliver1993 4 ай бұрын

You always have great ideas, thanks for all you do. I checked with O’Reilly’s, they have it in stock. I think I will try it this time.

@michellescruggs350 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for addressing this topic, though I do have a question for you and hoping you can help. The wiper seal on top of my RV is loose and not snug to the top of the RV. But, it looks like in order to replace that seal, i have to remove the D seal, does that sound right? And if so, then I guess i would also need to replace that if there is any cracking and then i would also need to reseal with caulk??

@WhyWait 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds about right. The D seal is just easily slid into that track. Without going up there I can’t really remember what the wiper seal is attached to or how. I’m thinking it’s part of the track but not sure.

Is the set screw 1 inch or 1/2 an inch? Thanks The guy that i had replace my D seal replaced it with to small of a screw and it pulled out of the wall. I just dont want to go through the other side with to long of a screw. Thanks again... great video....

@WhyWait 4 ай бұрын

Wish I could tell you but I don’t really remember and I’m not near my RV for a few weeks. You can always go to the other side find the set screw and back it out to match it up I suppose. Wish I could help more. Thanks for watching too 👍🏼

What would cause my slideout to leak if it is not the D seal? I've already had my roof and slides sealed.

@WhyWait 2 жыл бұрын

So many possibilities. Sometimes it’s the screws that leak, windows, the slide tracks, RV not level and water running back in…it’s so hard tracking down a leak sometimes. Good luck, hope you find the issue.

@Wurmfist Жыл бұрын

My D-seals look pretty easy to replace, they just go in the channel. I'm trying to find info on how to change the flap inner seal that comes out when the slideout is out. That looks like it might be a bit harder to change.

@WhyWait Жыл бұрын

Haven’t had to change one of those yet.

@Wurmfist Жыл бұрын

@@WhyWait looks like they are pretty easy as well, just have to unpinch the metal channel at the bottom and they just slide out.

@stillamitchinmybook6320 Жыл бұрын

What about the flap underneath the d seal. Why is no one talking about that one? Thats the one I think is leaking

@timguthrie2319 8 ай бұрын

Mine definitely is and im replacing. I got a combo of the wiper seal and d seal (rail for d seal is built on wiper, my original looks seperate). Comes with adhesive back but you can screw in too- seems easy enough all together

@lucasschuffert89 7 ай бұрын

you DO need to to water proof the ends...we left one extended for 2 years and water poured in on the slide motor

@coreyrichardson6350 Жыл бұрын

So what keeps the water from coming in I have a slide that wasn’t built right and has a hole on each side of the bottom of the bedroom slide and leaks water when it rains
