Since this post is slide out lubrication....
Does anyone lube or put anything on the seals?  After my slides are in for a bit, the seals seem to stick when first put out.  Any suggestions?

I use 303 protectant on the seals on my slide-out.  After I wash the seals down and they dry I just wipe 'em down with 303.  It seems to keep them pliable and they don't seem to get as dirty.

Same thing here, 303 Protectant after the seals have been cleaned. Ours begin to stick after 3 or 4 month's if I don't put 303 on them.

Thanks for the tips on WD40 and 303. I'll incorporate them into my preventive maintenance program.

lube attracts and holds dust wich is equivelent to sand paper on the gears when you slide in and out.

This is what am using, it is also supposed to keep the dust away.

As a note use a piece of cardboard above the rail when spraying so as not to get overspray on the bottom of the slide as this will drag across your carpet when sliding in.A tip We picked  up here or on the old forum.We use WD-40 on ours as well.
