Loud slapping sound from trim

Driving from amazing Santa fe to amazing home in las cruces we heard a loud slapping noise.
Sounded like the window would break.
Saw nothing driving.
Pulled over and side trim hanging down 90%

Thanks to my Thor friends I applied geocel and gorilla tape and made it home 🏡.

Oh crap! Glad you caught it in time!

As I was applying RejeX earlier in the week I noticed the front vertical bulb seal on the slide had slid down in it's channel and was nearly touching the ground. Fixed that with a dollop of Geocel ProFlex. Then noticed the horizontal one across the top had slid rearward about a foot!

Check those bulb seals often too!!
