[@Mike_In_Idaho]

Right on, Chris! I am shocked at how horrible the original seals are. They're just junk. I figured that would be the case for the replacements and would need to do it every 3 years. I'm excited to switch to the Jaeger system. Hopefully it lasts a long time!

[@WhyWait]

@@Mike_In_Idaho yeah I just met up with them yesterday again at the RV Hershey show and their stuff is really good. No need for UV protection products to be applied to theirs either. 👍🏼

[@jaegerunitek]

Wow, great video Chris. Thank you for all of the kind words about our products. We are proud to be backed by our German Engineering roots and manufactured in the USA!

[@WhyWait]

@@jaegerunitek thanks. I hope it brings the word out there for others to check these products out. See you guys in Hershey 👍🏼

[@robv4053]

Interesting. GD had previously stated using the double EKD style was deliberate to provide additional weatherproofing of the luane-backed outer and inner wall laminations to the aluminum framing to prevent delamination... Nonetheless, the product you used has been around a long while from America's largest and oldest weatherstripping manufacturer - Steele Rubber Products - and their products are made in the USA. This style seal was standard on a lot of Forest River products where they capped the laminate edges and portal framing with a plastic channel cap.

[@stayingintherv]

Very informative! It was nice meeting you at the Hershey show! New Subscriber here!!

[@WhyWait]

Same here 👍🏼 Best part of these shows is just talking to everyone and meeting new people. Safe travels out there.

[@prestonmcc64]

adding to my DIY folder for future reference. Great Video...much appreciated!

[@WhyWait]

Nice! I have one of those folders too. All of that handy information I know I’ll need one day. Thanks for checking it out Preston. 👍🏼

[@kentwicker6818]

Thanks! I just replaced most of my sweeps on my 3 year old RV since they were all ripped 😡. Bulb seals were fine. I ended up getting replacement wipers for free but will look into this system when time to do them again.

[@martymalone4094]

Thank you for the video on these seals. I'm about to replace one of my wiper seals on my motorcoach so I'm going to check this system out. Keep up the good content 🎉.

[@WhyWait]

Good deal Marty. I’m really happy with the quality of this product and the great design. 👍🏼

[@Itsa_Mea]

My 2024 Momentum 415G came with the updated seals. A month ago i was on the lot looking at a 2025 that just came in and it had the corners. I ordered them $24 for 2 pair and installed them. My local Napa sold a 3M Adhesive Promoter for $3 so I used that before the install. They really clean up the seals nicly and serve a function too.

[@WhyWait]

Awesome, that’s good to hear. I just missed out on these seals by like a half a year on my Grand Design. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼

[@user-qv4ph1co6t]

Cool right on some one all ready said you're the man you make it look so easy

[@WhyWait]

I try 👍🏼

[@CatFoodDraino]

I’ve been seeing videos about how 303 Protectant is causing RV seals to disintegrate. I’ve been using it for a couple years and hopefully my seals don’t start to degrade

[@WhyWait]

I don’t know about that. Been using it for years on everything including all the rubber on my vehicles and no problems. 303 Aerospace Protectant does not contain silicone oils or petroleum distillates, or other agents unsafe for rubber so Id have to see hard science that it’s what’s causing rv seals to degrade.

[@CatFoodDraino]

@@WhyWait same here. I’ve been using it a long time and haven’t had any issues. Given 303 is geared up for marine use, you’d think they’d have a banger of a concoction. Thanks for the reply!

[@marksherman5677]

While that may be a new manufacture of that style it isn't a new design. My 2008 Hartland originally came with the same design. It lasted 14 years, then I replaced the top ones about two years ago.

[@WilbursMobileRVTech]

This is great, Thanks!!

[@WhyWait]

Yes sir 👍🏼

[@durwinmccarty9097]

FYI- Silicone adhesive sealant will not adhere to gelcoat. If silicone adhesive was used on the gelcoat, you will need to sand the gelcoat to remove the silicone or the polyurethane or even silicone will not adhere to the surface. Once silicone has cured, even new silicone sealant will not adhere to its self. You have to sand the surface until water doesn’t bead up on the surface. The silicone adhesive will eventually lose its adhesion quickly, 6 months to a year. I learned about this from owning a sailboat and sealing hatches and deck hardware. For sealing to gelcoat, you’ll need to use a polyurethane sealant. Unfortunately, polyurethane doesn’t do well with UV exposure. So, it’s important to use one of the UV resident polyurethane, like 3M 4000UV, Sikaflex 295 UV, etc. Thank you for your video, step by step procedure, and the replacement product seal. 😎

[@timf6916]

Wow, Great work. You the man

[@WhyWait]

😁😁😁

[@robh063]

I'm curious if you used any kind of UV Protection on the rubber seals from the start to help this kind of damage from occurring?

[@WhyWait]

Yes on my old seals I started early. Tried my best about once a month using 303 on them. Full time RV 6 years and those seals on top of the slideouts take a beating from the sun.

[@jlantz3691]

Hi Chris. The Style Caps seem like a great idea, but I'm a little confused as to whether they would fit my seals. They look like the ones you showed, but its not the Jaeger system. How can I be assured they'd work for me? Thanks.

[@WhyWait]

How do you know if they aren’t the Flip n Seal by Jager for sure? I would reach out to the company and ask, I’m not sure. Or just buy one on Amazon and try it. They aren’t too expensive if it doesn’t work. jaeger-unitek.com/get-a-quote/

[@jaegerunitek]

Hi there! Our StyleCaps are designed to seamlessly fit with our slide-out seals only. We unfortunately do not have any way to guarantee that they will fit your seals, but we have heard of people retro fitting them to fit other seal types.

[@ricbailey170]

So with the old D tracks you have to remove them too. Holes everywhere then I guess. 😅

[@WhyWait]

Just small staple holes. The new seals go over them nicely with the new tape. 👍🏼

[@rictrout]

Sweet thanks

[@WhyWait]

No problem 👍

[@markreynolds9570]

So if the interior seals are fine, you dont need to change them even though you changed the exterior seals.

[@WhyWait]

Depends, if your exterior and interior seals are all one piece like mine are in the video then you have to add new seals inside and out. Now my top seal was one piece. So when I removed the top seal outside I didn’t have to replace the top seal inside. 👍🏼

[@jasonorr1000]

Like your 👕

[@WhyWait]

Yes sir! 🇺🇸👍🏼

[@garyallen1908]

Would have like to see you caulk a small stretch

[@WhyWait]

Yeah I was Trying to keep the video shorter Gary and I have so many videos on caulking so I skipped it. Here’s my best one if you want to see more about that process. 👍🏼👍🏼 How to RESEAL Your RV PROPERLY (3 Year Review of Proflex RV Sealant) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uYd3-giadkhbs

[@jetdriver]

I wouldn’t cite German Engineering as an advantage given the way they have been designing a building a lot of their cars these days.

[@WhyWait]

@@jetdriver well it’s a German company but made here in the US if that makes you feel better. Bottom line is it’s advanced automotive technology rubber

[@MYCHANNELWITHMYSTUFF]

I buy all my seals from Steele Rubber Products

[@kens4903]

What about the bottom seal? Is that the same type?

[@WhyWait]

No the flaps or seals underneath slide-outs are totally different if they even have them at all.

[@amarmot3635]

The slide-out seals on my 2015 Jayco travel trailer are like new. I’ve applied rubber conditioner liberally twice a year, either 3in1 rubber conditioner or Thetford, but not 303. However, they’ve never been in direct sunlight, as I have always parked it with the other side facing the sun

[@genegodwin769]

If you use petrolume base protectant it will ruin your seals . You want to use a water base protectant like ; 303 ; .

[@WhyWait]

Hahaha it’s only funny because I talk about 303 in this video and you can even go back and watch videos of mine where I talk about using 303. Been using it for years on everything including all the rubber on my vehicles and no problems. 303 Aerospace Protectant does not contain silicone oils or petroleum distillates, or other agents unsafe for rubber. But sound like you know and like it too. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TonyBenton0728]

Your problem is you own a Grand Design ! Our Riverstone doesn’t have that problem.

[@WhyWait]

Right on! Ours is a 2018 so overall it’s been good. You can go watch my videos on frame flex though where we pretty much bash grand design. Luckily mine doesn’t have that. Riverstone is nice, we like them and it’s probably the only RV under the Forest River umbrella I would ever get too. I will say one thing Grand Design did right was switching to these seals on all of their RVs around 2019. Thanks for watching.

[@thats_mr_b_]

Damn unavailable already.

[@WhyWait]

Dang no kidding. I know the video did well but can’t believe they sold out on them already.

[@thats_mr_b_]

@@WhyWait yeah sucks now the idea. I went and peaked at mine and they look fine. I cost them with 303 rubber conditioner but I was Ike ...yeah that be nice.

[@amarmot3635]

German engineering usually means needlessly complicated, maintenance heavy, and ridiculously expensive

[@WhyWait]

Well it’s just a rubber strip so I hope it’s not too complicated for you 👍🏼

[@robertwagner8596]

but their stuff works....
