Wonder if it’s bad fitting Ted? Cant see that it would shift touching against stanchion. Assuming they are correct seals for the job.Maybe an attempt to get worn seals to seal?
According to parts book the seal should be 35 x 48 x 11, and from what has already told me that's what's printed on the seal. I do seem to recall some seals having a metal spacing washer fitted under the seal, snug fit inside the slider but bore too big for it to ever touch the stanchion. Maybe that's what this needs. After checking my spare sliders I can confirm the shelf the seal sits on is 14.5mm from bottom of shelf to circlip recess, so if the seal is only 11mm that's a 3.5mm gap allowing the seal to move up and down. Doesn't seem a good idea to allow it to do that.
