A continuous snap in track system (200) is used with a residential vehicle (202) equipped with a slide-out room (204) protruding through at least one side wall of the residential vehicle (202). The slide-out room (204) includes an outer room wall (206). As the slide-out room (204) is extended, a gap (208) is formed between the room wall (206) and the residential vehicle sidewall (207). The system (200) includes a vertical seal assembly (210) and a horizontal seal assembly (212). The horizontal seal assembly (212) runs along the top wall or ceiling. The vertical seal assembly (210) and horizontal seal assembly (212) are coupled together through the use of a corner seal assembly (214). The system (200) includes a pair of jacket assemblies (220) coupled together through the use of a flexible hinge assembly (226). Each assembly (220) includes a leg (230) having a main body (232) and a straight edge (234). D-bulb channels (236) are positioned in the outer edge of each of the jacket legs (230) and hold components (238) including D-bulbs (240). Integral with the D-bulbs (240) are dart components (242). The components (240) are adapted to “snap-in” to the channels (236) of each jacket leg (230). The flexible hinge assembly (228) includes a pair of wipes (258). A recessed tape area (260) and a retention clip (262) are also provided. These elements function with respect to replacement of the wipes (258).
