Yep, I have the extra delicate blue tape on there at the moment. No rain in sight, luckily.

When the salon slide seal went last year, I did use extra wide electrical tape because it was over a month t before they could fit us in for the labor and we were in Washington and Oregon, so rain was pretty much guaranteed. There was some residue at the end but the 3M adhesive remover made very short work of it without affecting the finish.

Just to add Russ' comments from email on getting the slide retracted:

Here's how to get the slide sucked in to the max.

Retract it about half way.   Get a helper and lift off the valence and set
it aside.
Raise the bed and get access to the removable panel located near the head
of the bed.  Remove the panel.
You should see a limit switch and a mechanical stop that control the
position of the slide in the fully retracted position.
Some how ( I used magic marker ) mark the mechanical stop ( it¹s a bolt
with locks nuts ).  Remove the mechanical stop.
Now remove the two screws holding the ³L² bracket to the slide.  With that
bracket removed, it will no longer contact the limit switch and stop the
retract.

Now the slide will come it until the vertical column touches on the front
of the fixed column near the bedroom door to the front of the coach.
This will be enough room for you to work on the seal.
