Product resolves Schwintek’s defective design issue, which traps water in the top “Gutter” area on the track, causing standing water to sit & pass through the track’s seals, that quickly fail & become deformed from normal operation.
This issue allows water to enter inside your RV at EACH of the tracks mounted locations, thus causing water to run down the backside of the facia and accumulating onto the floor areas.
Causing expensive water damage to the slide room floor & walls, the front facia area (usually swells up), the rug, & down to the main floor area & nearby walls. Overall, greatly devaluing your RV.
This effect multiplies by wind & heavy rains.
The problematic design was used by manufacturers from mid-2010, all the way up to mid-2020. From there, most all manufacturers switch over to the revised track design which took care of the problem. See attached pictures that show the gutter issue.
Update: The company was using a newer inverted channel design track, which ended up having more issues with, so they did actually go back to the original design with the gutter built into it, making our track plugs an ongoing desirable way to take care of the issues moving forward.
