Eternabond on Slides, yea or nea?

We picked up a used 5er las fall, first thing I did was seal all the roof edges with 4" Eternabond tape (like I did on the previous unit). I need to finish up around the vents and shower dome, but I'm debating whether to seal edges on all the slides. My concern would be that the tape would get ripped or scrunched with the in & out, any strong opinion one way or the other?

  • Did it on ours right after we got it new. No issues and would do it again in a heartbeat.

    As sticky as that stuff is, I seriously doubt it.
