Help single slide out has gaps for bugs

2020 thor vegas when full slide is out light comes in small openings on each end of full slide out allowing bugs moths. How do I seal openings on both sides of slide to prevent moths when slide out?

I put napkins there to block the cabin light but messy.

Not sure what to clip there to avoid impact to slide?

Anyone suggestions or pictures?

There are wiper seals around the top and side of the slide. The bottom wiper seal is attached to the front of the slide. The only openings you should see is the areas around the tracks where there is a notch cut for the slides. All of these seals are owner replaceable and available from major RV parts suppliers.

It'll be OK.
The mice will eat the moths.

Well now that's a relief... I was really worried for a moment.

I thought you'd get more I put than you did.
Stainless steel heavy Guage steel wool/pot scrubbers work great for stuffing holes until you get a permanent solution.
If it's near something magnetic hot glue a magnet to the stainless. It makes it easy to set and remove.

I needed to extend a seal

Thor sent me a strip of seal, attached it with moulding contact cement and black silicon between ends

5 years later no daylight
