A small piece of Eternabond tape might fix you up.
I was thinking of that, too. I have a large amount of Eternabond with me and all I need is a tiny piece for that hole. Of course, the color won't match since the tape is white and the rubber wiper is black but in that location it won't be noticed. I figured using the inner tube repair process may work a little better since the repair may be more flexible than with Eternabond. That wiper does see quite a bit of movement during operation of the slide-out. Another problem could arise if for some reason the Eternabond fix turns out to be not flexible enough. It would cause more damage to the rubber wiper if I tried removing the tape. Perhaps the best thing to do is go with the inner tube repair process first and see if that works sufficiently. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
