replacing weather-stripping on 1999 Carri-Lite slide out

We need to replace the weather-strip seal around the outside of our slide out -- our 5th wheel is a 1999 Carriage Carri-Lite (529RK). I'd like to do the replacement myself but am having trouble locating the correct item. I believe it's called a side bulb trim seal but it needs to have a 90-degree bend radius without the risk of leaking. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  • I appreciate the referrals & links -- thanks much! Have a great, safe Memorial Day.
  • Call Kansas RV Center in Chanute, KS. This is the repair shop that used to build NuWa HitchHikers, They may have the seal you need.

    Or check on the Lifestyle/Carriage forum on the internet.

    These are the outfits I have listed. Most, you have to buy a roll, etc. but much cheaper than an RV joint. I got ours thru Pellandent, were good folks to work with. Just try to match yours up with one of these vendors.
  • I usually find that taking the part to a local RV dealer parts dept will produce the part
