Bottom wear bar /swipe seal

Do this is going on today, rebuilding the slide room. After I pulled it out I noticed some wear on the bottom wear bar/ swipe seal. Well, trekwood wants to either cut it in half (they sell in 14' sections I need 9'11") or charge $200 in shipping! I don't believe cutting in half is a good option. Does anybody have a different vendor for these? Coming up empty so far!Click image for larger version

The culprit, they cut this too short during assembly! Why not cover the edges? The new roof will be for sure!Click image for larger version

Finishing gluing the darco on the top of the new floor. Used contact cement, used card board to separate and rolled darco as cardboard was slowly pulled out.Click image for larger version

Added slide skis to outer edges, this should minimize friction on the wear bar and provide a drip rail to minimize water wicking thru the darco.Click image for larger version

Holy Cow, what a job. What did you decide on one piece or two for the wear bar? Can I also assume you own a forklift?

That was a huge and daunting task. Looks like you did an exceptional job on the repairs. Thanks for sharing and hope you were able to use one piece for the wear bar; I'm afraid 2 will be problematic as you noted.

A great neighbor with a skid steer with forks! That sucker weighs more than you think it would.

DMK, Wow, what a job!
I'm dreading just doing something about my collapsed wear bar.
Did you end up adding rollers? If so, where did you get them?
Did you use one piece for your wear bar?
