Slide rubber

My rubbers on top of each slide has deteriorated. sides are fine. any suggestion other that totally replacing them. need to keep that rain out
  • If they are not doing the job, its time to replace. The water leakage will do more harm than the time spent replacing. Check out Steele Rubber for replacement. https://www.steelerubber.com/
  • I'd replace. Not a fun job, but not terribly difficult.

    I have no suggestion since they are spent.
  • depends on the level of deterioration whether they are salvageable.

    Not pointing a finger at you, but you can tell who has high use of their RVs and who are 'grab & go' weekenders. Typically folks who use their RVs a lot, do the needed maintenance; weekenders don't. Cleaning and UV protection is critical; especially the rubber and plastic parts. There are plenty of high-quality products on the market. If you don't make the time to use them, you will be opening your wallet further doing repairs.
