Replacing Cable Seals

Does anybody have a DIY for replacing cable seals? 3 of the 4 have fallen off and the last one is dangling on the cable. They look like pieces of rubber like a thick bike tube tire.

Thanks!

So sorry... what are you calling a cable seal? What unit do you have?

It is a Forest River Tracer and the large slide-out has cable. Where those cables insert through the camper there are pieces of rubber that I've been told are a leak seal. Sorry...cell is not working so cannot take pics but the are about 1 x 3 inch pieces of rubber.

Are you talking about a rubber grommet?

Funny you should ask that as I've been doing some research and I can find cable grommet....perhaps what's on the camper is a DIY replacement. Phone is working temporarily so I'm going to take a picture and post momentarily.
