NOTE
If the wiper seal does not have pre-cut holes, consult IS16080. The drain and air supply holes must be
marked on the vehicle prior to installation and punched out in the base wiper seal after installation
using a hollow punch. This will ensure proper draining of the seal and allow passage of the inflatable
seal hose to the vehicle air supply.

PROCEDURE
DANGER
Park vehicle safely, apply parking brake, stop engine. Prior to working on the vehicle, set the ignition
switch to the OFF position and trip the main circuit breakers equipped with a trip button. On Commuter
type vehicles, set the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the OFF position.
Lock out & Tag out (LOTO) must be performed during set-up, maintenance or repair activities. Refer to
your local procedure for detailed information regarding the control of hazardous energy.

PREPARATION
1. Inspect gaps all around the
slide-out.
Gaps
must
be
between 17 and 27mm.
2. Adjust gaps to reach the values
above. Refer to maintenance
manual for procedure.

FIGURE 9

3. Retract the slide-out 2" inside the vehicle. Consult maintenance manual for procedure.
Heed the cautionary notes outlined in the manual before retracting.
4. Remove the old slide-out seal.
5. Thoroughly clean the bonding surface receiving the seal adhesive with anti-silicone. Surface must
be smooth, without any glue or paint residue.
6. Scuff the bonding surface with a very fine abrasive pad.
7. Clean the structure again with anti-silicone.
8. Mask the slide-out edge and vehicle opening all around to protect the vehicle finish.
9. Apply Sika 206 G+P. Apply all around the bonding surface. Minimum drying time: 4 hours.

10. Ensure Sika 206 is dry and
clean.
11. Apply 3M Primer 94 at the 4
corners; Apply with very light
pressure to avoid peeling or
damaging the Sika 206 primer.

12. On the wiper seal corners locate
the small rib identifying the
corner mid-point. Make it more
visible by marking the corners
with a paint marker.

13. Also mark the midpoint of each
corner on the structure.

FIGURE 13: CORNER MID POINT

14. Mark the position of the drain
holes in the structure.
15. Place the drain and air inlet
holes aligned with the provision
on the structure.
If there are no holes in the wiper
seal, refer to IS-16080.

BASE WIPER SEAL INSTALLATION Two people required from this point.
16. One upper corner at a time,
remove the adhesive protecting
film on approximately 8 inches.
Warning: Bonding occurs instantly!
17. Align the corner marks.
18. Place the seal corner as flush as
possible to the exterior side of
the structure. (Figure 6)

FIGURE 15

FIGURE 16

19. Support the upper part of the
seal with masking tape.

FIGURE 17

20. Test fit to align air inlet holes with
structure.
21. Remove the adhesive protecting
film on approximately 8 inches.
22. Align air inlet holes in base and
structure and bond base to
structure.

23. Test fit the lower corners. Align the corner marks.
Note: On H3-45 VIP vehicles, see Figure 18 for the bonding of the lower section of the seal.
24. Bond the lower corners.
25. Be sure to align the seal drain holes with the structure drain holes.
26. Progressively bond the remainder of the lower section.
27. H3-45 VIP vehicles only. Bond
the lower part of the wiper seal
flush to the inside of the tube
round edge.

FIGURE 19: SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOR H3-45VIP ONLY

28. Bond the upper section by
starting at the middle. Evenly
spread any excess or tension on
both sides.
Make sure you are bonding flush to
the exterior side of the structure.
(Figure 6)

29. Test fit the remainder of the base
wiper seal. Even out any slack or
tension all around.
30. Visually inspect the corners
marks and the air inlet hose to
confirm everything is aligned.

FIGURE 21

31. Use roller tool all around.
32. Confirm that the drain holes in
the structure are aligned with the
openings in the seal base. If not,
punch or cut-out the base using
the marks.

Inflatable seal installation
33. Clean the base wiper seal to
make sure it is free of debris.
34. Slip the inflation tube in the
vehicle structure. Seal with
#684685 Simpson ISR 70-03
sealer all round. (Figure 22)
35. Position the inflatable joint inside
the base wiper. Even out any
slack or tension all around.
Note: Support with tape in the
upper section.
36. Between the air inlet and the
nearest corner, locally clip the
seal on the base. (Arrows, Figure
22)
Note : Dry clip! (no lubricant)
37. At the lower corner, insert seal in
the bottom of the base, without
clipping. (Figure 22)
Note: Follow this guideline for all
corners; they will be clipped at
the very end.
38. Clip seal
tangent.

corner

39. To avoid creases in the corner,
stretch the seal as if it were too
short in length compared with the
base.

40. Spray a small amount of
#680879 P80 lubricant in the
base.
Caution: P80 application is only
allowed in the straight sections,
stopping one foot from the
corners.

FIGURE 25

41. Begin by locally clipping the seal,
at each 24 in.

FIGURE 26

42. Insert the joint in the lower
section.
43. Clip with the help of roller tool.
Important: Always start at the
corner tangent (away from the
corner) and roll towards the
center.

44. Repeat the same method on all
remaining sides, skipping the
corners.

45. Clip

the

four

corners

Note: If the corner is too tight
and needs a bit of slack, roll the
sides from the outside towards
the corner.

FIGURE 29

46. Confirm the seal is well clipped in
the base by feeling with your
fingers.

Inflation test
47. On the slide-out control panel,
confirm air pressure is set to
15psi.
48. If not, adjust the pressure relief
to 15 psi.
49. Move the green pegs on each
side of the needle to indicate the
new pressure range.

FIGURE 31: ADJUST TO 15 PSI

50. Connect the air inlet to the
inflatable seal air supply, vehicle
side.
Caution: The seal air supply
tube is soft; do not squeeze it
with the cable ties.

51. Extend the slide-out room.
52. Inflate the seal.
53. Confirm that the corners do not
show any creases.
IF THERE ARE CREASES:
A. Return the room inward.
B. Unclip the inflatable seal from the
corner plus along one or two feet
on each side.
C. Clip the straight sections by
rolling from the corner towards
the center.
Make sure you are stretching the
corner; it should be flush with the
top of the base wiper seal.
D. Clip corner in.
IF CORNERS ARE FREE FROM
CREASES:
54. Inflate the seal. Leave inflated for
a settle-in period of 24h.
Caution:
Applied
pressure
should not exceed 15 psi.
