Slide Seal Not Properly Attached. Fix Myself? Or Warranty

[Gordon_R]

We recently did our first shakedown cruise of our new 2018 Arctic Fox 27-5L.

Only 2 problems found.

Bathroom door knob latch does not line up with door frame plate. I can fix that.

On the living room slide, I have a 1 foot section of side rubber seal that is not secured under the molding. I'm a bit hesitant to take the screwed strip off to attempt to reattach the seal. Should I tackle this? Or, take it to the dealer - wait - and have them repair it. It would be covered under warranty.

If it came loose again, I might have problems with warranty, I think, if I mess with it myself.

Opinions?

call and ask when you can take it in,AND WAIT for the repair. or just do it don,t look like a big job.

I hate to have the rig out of my control. I would razor the sealant, loosen the screws and pull the seal back into place. Tighten the screws and reseal the lip and call it a 1/2 hour job well done. But that is just me, your mileage may vary.

Does self repair void the warranty?

I know myself...I'd fix it myself because it's an easy one.
But, I'd probably call the dealer and tell them about the problem and see what they suggest.

If they approve it, I'd repair it...but if you take it in, it's a half hour job. You could just wait and take it home again. There should be no need to leave it...as long as you have an appointment.

I would have them fix it for future warranty concerns.

Warranty because they will blame it on you and deny any further help with the problem.

Going anywhere for the next 2 or 3 weeks? It’s all about the wait.
