Sticky Bunk Door Seals

I know this subject has past through older threads, but couldn't locate one. However, my bunk door seals are sticking to bunk doors making them difficult to open. I've cleaned them, but would like to know the best way to treat them so they they aren't sticky anymore.

303 Aerospace. Available at most RV places, or a ton of places online. Treats and keeps them from sticking. Some also use a dry silicone spray, which can be found almost anywhere.

At least in Heaven, RVs will be perfect, and I won't have to keep fixing them.

I put the silicon spray on the bunk ends where the touch the seals. 303 on the seals themselves.

I use 303 a couple times a year on all bunk and door seals. I had this issue too until I stared using this seal treatment. Any door seal treatment will work if you want something else other than the 303. My seals were so bad that they were ripping off in some places.

303 purchased at Ace: $13.95. Same product at the RV store right up street: $18.95. Seriously... ??

Anyhow, wiped down all seals with 303 & sprayed dry silicon directly on bunk doors where they contact seals -- as CPD1343 suggested.

I'll know it worked next spring when I pull it out of storage.

You can also use it on the tires and roof since it contains to petroleum distillates. I agree with ya on the rv store...lol I usually buy a gallon jug online. Lasts a long time.
