Being as it was my first slide, I just thought they were all like that.. Now I think it was built that way on purpose. It worked well for the 10 years I had it, though pulling in the slide wet was a pain. Had to dry the roof with towels.
2oldman, the slide is about 13' long, it's the main (and only LOL) slide with the couch and dinette. The seal that's there now doesn't actaully touch the roof of the slide and doesn't wipe diddly now...maybe a little longer wouldn't hurt
Maybe yours was built that way as well. If so, then a longer seal may not be a good idea??
