How to replace an ABS roof seal on a Coleman or Fleetwood pop up camper 

Great video. Ordered the new ABS seal online. Removed the old seal with a hair dryer. Cleaned the ABS with white vinegar and sponge/scouring pad. When going around the corners don’t stretch the seal too tight. Heat up the seal. The rubber mallet is a must. The instructions are perfect. Thanks.

I just did this project on my 01 Sun Valley this afternoon. It was surprisingly easy, much to the credit of this video. Thank you so much for the help! Also, the seal came quickly when I ordered it.

great video... bought my seal from you a couple years ago but still haven't installed it. watching how easy it is in the video, makes me wanna go out and get it done! Thanks!

Really appreciate the video - seemed to go ok except at the corners - that was a little tougher, especially since the bundle was rolled opposite the direction that it needed to go on - but used a heat gun to make it more malleable and so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it worked ok. Also, the red tape wasn't really attached to the glued surface when it came, so am also keeping fingers crossed that it retains sufficient stickiness for the bonding. Loved the tips for removing the old seal and for cleaning it/prep work. Very informative and helpful! Might just get a few more years of use out of that old Coleman yet!!! Next finding a portable toilet and we can socially distance as needed!

I ordered this part from them in Spring of 2021. I followed this video 100 percent. my surface was super clean and I used a heat gun for installations in the corners. After storing it for the winter the back seal where they meet was hanging down and the left and right sides sagged down. After examining the seal the glue on the inside came off of the gasket and was firmly stuck to the camper still. So after buying an expensive gasket, get some messy gasket glue also.

Thank you very much! This helps greatly, I also must commend you on your shipping speeds and availability of parts for our 20+ year old pop-up. We are definite repeat customers!

Thanks!

Mine is completely missing....

First seal we ordered from an RV supply company….lasted 2 years……piece of junk. Just installed this one tonight……AWESOME.AWESOME seal. Do not buy anything else!

Great video! I need a new/ updated camper canvas - it’s confusing to order on your site help!

Hey got my seal in today and as we talked on the phone it is different than the one in the video. any hints to installing it? it looks like it has to go into a track so as with a car seal a 50/50 mix of water and dawn will make it easier to slide into place. but what about the corners i think you said cut at a 45 deg angle? should i start in the rear of the roof?

Is this the same item & procedure for the front cargo container? The rubber seal where the lid meets (when closed) has come off all around one corner.

Will the 41' fit around the really big coleman popup that has a slide out. It is the largest popup they have?

Just replaced the seal on my 1997 Coleman Sante Fe - should I add any type of caulking around the seal since there's a little gap in some places? The mallet also caused some pieces to crack off a bit, but I'll fill those areas in with putty.

What is the adhesive you use for the seal? I have some cracks in the abs roof & what I used didn't stick well.

I have a 1996 Sun Valley. I replaced the seal 2 years ago and it is still in good condition (granted I don't get out enough to give it good wear and tear). The question I need help with is after repairing roof with Grizzly Grip in the next month (need to replace de-laminated ABS), what glue do you suggest using to "re-apply" the 2 yer old (in good shape) roof seal?? another concern is without the ABS roof, is the roof is now thinner. how do we get the roof seal to fit tightly. Your help is greatly appreciated. Sorry for long post - Kalani

I just purchased a 91’ Americana Shenandoah with ABS roof and it does not have a seal. Will this work for it?

How do I know which seal for my 2001 sunvalley camper it's 12 ft 10 inches long by 7 ft 2 inches wide this makes more than 41 inches total.

Hi there, what would you recommend for the inside canvas to clean? I have a 1999 Coleman Mesa and the inside canvas is just kind of dirty looking and darkened.

Will this seal fit my 2001-2002 Mesa Coleman?

Thanks for the video. Got a question about spraying diluted alcohol on the 3M adhesive. Won't this weaken the adhesiveness? tia

My ABS roof will need to be removed and possibly will have a Grizzly Grip liner applied, as there are several spots cracked open and the bottom edges are dry crumbling/breaking off. How well does the seal fit/adhere when the ABS roof has been removed and replaced with a Grizzly Grip spray? **I am a total beginner working to remodel my Coleman 1998 Sante Fe Popup.

Why do you mist the adhesive? And why the adhesive to the inside?

Any ideas how to remove the glue left behind from the original seal?

can we use this type of seal if we have removed the ABS?

I didn't watch this video until after I installed the seal....with the adhesive on the outside. Is this going to create a problem?

I’m trying to order a new rubber seal but you’re out of stock. Any ETA on when you get more in? I have a trip planned (a bit prematurely) in two weeks and the old seal is basically gone. I just bought it off a friend who was storing it the last few years. Seal is the last major repair.

Will you make a video of the other type of roof “metal”

On my Santa Fe the seal don’t go in the outside like this. There’s a rail inside the roof a little more

Do you know when this product going to be back in stock? i need this ASAP
