The two windows on my slide both have the rubber gasket coming out in one corner (see photo). I seem to remember something about these seals shrinking and the fact that you can use a heat gun to warm them up in order to get them to go back in. Any thoughts or suggestion would be much appreciated. The camper is a 2019 Connect 261.  |

Heat may help but don't apply much. |

Find the end of the weather strip and pull it out from there to the effected corner, then start pushing it back into place. There is a additional "lip" deeper in the frame that the bottom edge of the weather strip has to go into. If you don't get that in place the face won't look correct. Once you have it all back in place you will most likely end up with a gap at the end of the weather strip. Just fill that with some black silicone and you will be fine. The sun dries and shrinks these weather strips and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. You can replace it if it get bad enough...if you can find it.
