It is getting to be about time to replace my slide seals. Not leaking as of yet, but I want to beat it before any trouble starts. They are showing some minor cracking and the bedroom slide seal is starting to get a little soft and a little gummy.
Being a DIY'er, I've contemplated doing it myself. HOWEVER, after surveying the situation several times over, I'm arriving at the conclusion that this might be one job better left to someone who has more experience with it. (In my case, the local Newmar dealer.)

I don't have enough personal experience with slide topper mechanisms so I'm not sure that I'd feel comfortable fooling around with them.
I'll probably go against my grain and end up biting-the-bullet and take it to the dealer to get the slide seals done. At this point, I have no idea as to what they'll charge me?
