How about cutting a piece of foam noodle in half and when closing the slide let it crush the noodle in that area. By foam noodle I mean the round colored foam tubes kids use to float in the pool. Or a piece of foam water pipe installation.
Maybe, It would have to go in between the slide floor and the trailer. I'd be worried of something falling apart and getting stuck between the floors and gumming up the works.
BUT, maybe something as simple as stuffing part of a cut up inner tube in there could work. That won't come apart like the foam stuff.

Something against getting the correct parts and fixing it right?
I need a "now" fix and a long term fix. The "now" fix is just to get me home.
I've sent an email to the manufacturer. Just getting replacement parts is not fixing it right. The seal will just continue to wear after about 50 uses of the slides. Right now I need to replace the seal under two slides. It would be more cost effective to buy a 100' spool of the seal material vs buying them a couple times per year. Or getting a 10 pack for each side that will last 2 or 3 years....
Ideally there would be another fix - like putting the seal on the slide so it's not getting ground off time the slide moves.
