rubber seals

I was just told that the rubber seals around the slides should be overlapped and glued at the top of slide . Has any one done this before or believe that's true. I have one that is not touching the other one.
  • My top side seal extends just over the top of vertical seals. The verticals just meet the bottom of the horizontal seal, but are not glued together. With the slide closed, they would be squished to the point of touching each other.

  • All of mine were glued. A few have become unglued but I watch carefully and have not found any issues. Where mine have remained glued they tightly fit around the corner and it looks like they would do a good job of sealing.

    I have tried regluing the failed ones but have not found a way of keeping them folded until dry.
  • The only glue necessary is the glue that comes on the seal itself.
