Great thread, learned quite a bit from all of the super Info Sharing!!
We had lost our side piece popping loose on the front big slide, so I had researched an followed the input on how to repair this.
I went the route of popping the loose, cleaning well, sealing with the recommended 3M combo glue/sealeant (brain fade on the actual tube name:)!). Then attached with the pre drilled holes and SS screws. I then finished it off with a bead seal along the upper edge. This was about 13 months ago, and looking at them over the weekend - all four of these bottom trim angles were looking good.
I like the tip of adding the vinly 3M tape, and will do so the next time I do maintenance.
OK - So, I admit that I have not looked at the 'top of the slides' yet, and will add that to my 'To Do' list too. I've seen evidence of water running into the coach along the upper front slide in the past (the cloth going around the windows has light white water marks). During PDI as part of the purchase, Holland Motor Homes confirmed that all old leaks were currently repaired with no signs of permanent damage. (The 1st owner had had them work this leak back in 2006, assume still under warranty. He had purchsed the coach new from Holland Motor Home's, and the were a well known CC shop in the Southern California area.) So far, we have seen no signs of leaking. But, have only been out in what passes for rain in California, so not as stressed tested as much as many of you have....
!
I'll add the seal and the tape to the top now, as preventative maintenance.
As many of you have mentioned before - what a great board, with everyone sharing what they know (or think they know:)!) - it sure is a pleasure to be a member of the CC gang!
Best to you all,
