Default 2004 Endura 6340 Slide Wiper Seal

We just purchased this unit a couple of months ago we noticed that when the LR slide is all the way out, the wiper seal on top does not touch the slide. There is about an 3/4 inch gap between the bottom of the wiper seal and the top of the slide. Is this normal? It seems that the seal should stay in contact with the slide at all times. When the slide lifts on retract, the seal does contact the top of the slide and functions as it should. Also, it looks like the type of seal that is peal and stick instead of one that slide into a track. Can anyone confirm. I want to replace all slide seals as I give the unit a complete once over. Thanks, Earl.

The wiper is just that, a wiper, NOT the seal when retracted, NOT the seal when extended, BUT NO WIPER/ LOOSE WIPER would DUMP a BUNCH of water INSIDE if retracted during rain. It is ALSO a RAIN DEFLECTOR WHEN OPEN/ EXPOSED. My 1999 Class-C with Hydraulic slides, uses a double D wiper that pushes onto a metal trim; had to adjust mine after buying in 2017; Suggest with slide fully extended, study underneath and see if you see adjustment slots and can tell if anything has moved? I was able to adjust mine w/ a jack and cut 2x4s, (support, loosen bolts at adjustment points, jack/adjust as needed and tighten down); (Luck to ya) If you do need new seals= (ABOUT $5/ LF ($200+/40-FT ROLL) https://www.steelerubber.com/
