Rubber seals on slide(s)
My wife and I just bought at 2013 Thor Motor Coach 31F that has two slides, one for the bedroom at the back and a larger one for the dinette/oven/sink. In doing my spring cleaning I noticed that the flat rubber strip on the top of the slide was folded under about midway on the slide. I didn't attempt to free it up so that it would lay flat like the other flat seals on the sides and those on the smaller bedroom slide. But I did watch what happened as the large slide retracted and saw that all of the top rubber slide "buckled/turned under" as the retraction occurred. I'm new to this forum and this Motor Coach, so I'm asking whether this turning under is wrong (should the top rubber seal remain flat) and what I might do about it if it is wrong.
Second, I noticed that the rounded rubber seal that lies on the interior, motor coach side of the large slide was about a foot shorter than all of the other slides rubber seals. I'm thinking that this needs to be replaced with a seal of the proper length and ask if anyone knows a source for this type of seal?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
