Good advice! Everything looks good seals are not bad just a little dry and getting stiff.

Very glad I found this thread. I posted a new one but this is an excellent thread. I just got in the mail 60 ft. of Pirelli for the inside of the trailer. I noticed the old Pirelli did not go to the four corners but the sides and ends all stopped about 1 inch from each corner. Shouldn't they go to the corners and butt against each other? This way, there's no gap in each corner??

 

I pulled the old gasket off so now I'm on "holding pattern" until I can find out about the corners so if someone could reply asap, I would greatly appreciate it. Tomorrow is suppose to be a beautiful day and hope to install them after church while the weather is still nice. 

 

Another question that came up when I was reading this thread was the outside gasket. I didn't even think about that but now that its been brought up, where do I purchase those at? Alaskan Camper.com?? 

 

Thanks so much,

Joe

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Do I match the stop/start of the old existing that I'm replacing or go all the way to the end? 

Thanks,

Joe

My guess is the factory did it that way for a reason. I wonder if going to the end would cause binding of the lift, or tearing of the new seal.

I think you're right Wandering Sagebrush. I'm going to wait and talk to Brain tomorrow. Wish I could have done it today but that's the way it goes sometimes.
