299RKS inside slide seal tearing
The last time we camped, I noticed a rubber strip flapping on the outside of the slide. It turned out to be a seal that is on the inside frame of the slide opening and it had torn away from its bead for about 14". I now have some gorilla tape on it, but no hope of it lasting long as it doesn't like to stick to the rubber.
Has anyone replaced one of these? The groove that the bead slides into is in a metal strip screwed onto the frame opening. That metal strip also has two key holes that the slide cables pass through so it won't come off when I unscrew it, but I should be able to pull it out far enough to slide the beading out and a new one in. For anyone whose done this, is it that easy or are there some gotchas I need to be aware of?
I figure the dealer will charge a few hundred to do the job and would rather do it myself, plus I would probably have to remove my Andersen Ultimate adapter from the pin.
