The dealer re-glued and said it wouldn't come loose, but it did.
It's too far to the dealer for this simple fix...
It's on a track on the side of the slide and it just moves up and down. Needs to be attached again.
What kind of adhesive can you use with rubber seals?
Thanks

I had tha problem with my last camper. The dealer always just got me down the road

One of the cures i read about but traded the ole bomb off before trying was contact cement. A guy swore by it. I know that stuff is amazing.

He recommend appying in the usual way of doing both surfaces and waiting the prescribed time and then do the stick em together act.

But like I said, I have not tried it.

I use 3M brand made for rubber seals. I haven't had one come loose using it.

WM has it.
