The Steele Rubber Products Peel-N-Stick Medium Half Round is a 1/4" high by 1/2" wide superior grade EPDM sponge rubber extrusion seal, engineered for straightforward, reliable compartment door weathersealing on a wide range of RV makes and models. The low-profile half-round cross-section is one of the most common compartment door seal shapes across the RV industry, making this seal a practical universal replacement for thin, flat door frame channels where a taller seal profile would not compress properly or would interfere with door closure.
Constructed from 100% EPDM sponge rubber, this seal is built to outlast the foam and vinyl alternatives that crack, shrink, and pull away from door surfaces after a few seasons of outdoor use. EPDM is inherently resistant to moisture, ozone, and UV exposure — three of the most destructive elements for exterior RV weatherstrips. The bonded self-adhesive strip makes installation tool-free: clean and dry the door frame surface, peel the liner, and press firmly into place. Available in 5 ft, 10 ft, 15 ft, and 30 ft pre-cut lengths and by the foot, this seal is backed by Steele Rubber Products’ 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

The bonding surface must be completely clean and dry before applying the seal. • Remove all old seals, adhesive residue, and debris using a general-purpose adhesive cleaner or rubbing alcohol • Allow the surface to dry completely — applying over wet cleaner prevents adhesion • Apply within the recommended temperature range: 60–104°F (15–40°C) • Minimize the temperature difference between the seal and the bonding surface for the best bond • The adhesive bonds immediately on contact — work carefully, removing the backing a few inches at a time For full perimeter compartment door installations, apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue for rubber) at end-to-end corner joints to prevent lifting at corners.
Step-by-Step Installation: 1. Remove Old Seal: Pull the existing weatherstrip from the door frame, working around the full perimeter 2. Clean the Surface: Remove all old adhesive, residue, and debris using adhesive cleaner or rubbing alcohol 3. Dry Completely: Allow the bonding surface to dry fully before applying the new seal 4. Check Temperature: Confirm both the seal and bonding surface are between 60–104°F (15–40°C) 5. Cut to Length: Measure and cut the strip to fit each door section using a sharp utility knife or scissors 6. Peel & Apply: Remove the backing a few inches at a time — do not remove all backing at once 7. Press Firmly: Apply steady, even pressure along the full length as you go 8. Corner Joints: Apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate (super glue for rubber) at end-to-end corner joints for full perimeter seals 9. Allow to Cure: Adhesive bonds immediately on contact; allow adequate time to fully set before heavy weather exposure
