Re: Ext. storage compartment seal replacement Reply #1 – September 22, 2024, 06:46:22 am Hi, I'm thinking that "Phideaux" is referring to your Lazy Daze motorhome, or maybe it is you? The search function located in the pull down menu of the "COMMUNITY" header, just seems broken. It takes a little practice to get the key words right, for it to locate what you are looking for. It is best NOT to specify "match all words". If you do that you may not get any answers, or too many unrelated old comments . You are relying on other post(ers) to use the exact same words that you are searching. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. Using fewer 'key' words works better for me. Both 'compartment' and 'seals' are used in a lot of comments, so you might try single but more specific words.

D-Shape Rubber Weather Stripping replacement If they are missing totally or are mangled enough, you can look online, or try some of the seal products in big box stores. Lowes, Home Despot', or such. I did stock up on some before LD went out of business, so I haven't needed much. I mostly reglue it. I could take some from the generator access door if I were desperate, since just inches away that compartment is open to the ground. Just an anti-rattle seal I think. Or back pressure on the door to help the lock stay closed. Welcome to the Lazy Daze club, with your 'new to you' coach. We hope that you can more easily find answers to what you need here. Most of us have similar issues with use and ageing of the LD. I'll fill in your signature line. RonB As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: Ext. storage compartment seal replacement Reply #3 – September 23, 2024, 12:02:43 pm I use Steele Rubber Products on my car projects; excellent quality. I ordered some D-shaped weatherstripping from them & plan to install it on one of my external storage compartments in the next few days. I’ll report back on the size & shape vs. what’s installed by LD.
Re: Ext. storage compartment seal replacement Reply #4 – September 25, 2024, 10:53:30 am The Steele Rubber D-shaped weather stripping is larger than the product originally installed in my LD. But it worked great. It fit into the channel and compressed nicely when the compartment door was closed. It comes with 3M tape on the back making installation super easy. I only replaced the corners in this first compartment, but think I’ll do a full replacement on all compartment doors once I put the LD in my garage for the winter. 1 Likes
Re: Ext. storage compartment seal replacement Reply #5 – October 05, 2024, 01:59:46 pm Thank you for the warm welcome and replies!Phideaux is a misspelling of Phydeaux, the name given our family’s LD by my dad, a life-long Frank Zappa fan. Fellow FZ fans should recognize the homage.My parents bought Phydeaux new from the factory.When I first tried the Search function I got an error page, but it is working for me now.I will try the Steele Rubber product, thanks! 1 Likes
