Slide seal replacement for 2005 Siara Cheetah - Is there a source other than Steele Rubber Products?

[1nolaguy]

I need to replace the seals on the three slides of our 2005 Safari Cheetah. The OEM seals are two bulb with a wiper design that friction fits on the wall around the slide. Steele Rubber Products were very heplful and sent me information and samples but the only seal that is similar to the OEM is much lighter and too short (wiper length). since I have to order a 40 ft box I want to make sure it would work before ordering. Has anyone in the group changed the slide seals on the same or similar coach with the same slide seals? If so did you use the Steele seals or from another source? If other please share.

Yessir.  I got wipers from Steele Rubber and AP products. https://approducts.net/ for my bedroom slide. They both sent me samples allowing me to get the best blades. You should be able to see my past posts on this site w pics.

Thanks Steven P, I read your link and it was very helpful. Did you by chance change your front slideout seals as well and if so did you use the same size seals (Steele on the sides and AP on the top)? Also, did you change the bottom seals and if so which one did you use there?

I have not done my other slides yet, nor the bottom seals.  They seem to be holding up for now.
